Reflecting on Growth

Here, I share my journey of growth as an educator. I hope these reflections show my commitment to learning, my honesty about challenges, and my dedication to improving my teaching practice to better support my students.

Areas of Focus

My reflections often center around key aspects of my teaching and classroom experiences:

  1. Student Engagement and Support: Ensuring students feel included, challenged, and confident, especially in movement-based activities.
  2. Lesson Effectiveness: Evaluating pacing, transitions, and the clarity of instructions.
  3. Matching Strategies to Needs: Reflecting on differentiation, entry levels, cues, and modifications for diverse learners.

More Key Reflections

Further areas of reflection include:

  1. Feedback and Demonstrations: Assessing the clarity of cues and the effectiveness of modeling.
  2. Classroom Management: Considering safety, clarity of expectations, and student responses to routines.
  3. Personal Growth: Examining how each experience contributes to my confidence and intentionality as a teacher.
