What are the benefits of reflective teaching?
Reflective practice develops your ability to understand how your students learn and the best ways to teach them.
By reflecting on your teaching, you identify any barriers to learning that your students have.
When you reflect on your teaching, you gain a better understanding of your strengths and areas for growth as an educator.
You can plan lessons that are responsive to the learning styles of your students and that highlight your own strengths.
"You can create magic by using your hobbies and interests in the classroom. Wade drew on his athletic backgrounds to come up with competitive games that made math more engaging. He brought his electric guitar to school and began writing content-heavy song lyrics that helped kids remember vocabulary and terminology. Hope used her skill at crafting to develop the instructional strategy she eventually became well-known for: the room transformation. In short, their winning strategy was to boost student engagement by delivering content creatively, despite a scripted curriculum."
