Throughout my years of teaching, I believe self reflection will be one of the most helpful practices I will use to evaluate myself as a teacher. Since I want my students to set high goals for themselves, I plan to set an example for them and do it for myself too. One way I will practice self reflecting is by keeping a teacher bullet journal. In my journal I will follow prompts similar to the ones pictured in order to reflect at the beginning and end of my week. At the beginning of my school week, I want to focus on what I can do and what goals I want to achieve. At then end of my school week, I want to focus on what I did do, what went well, what did not go well, and what I can do in the upcoming week. I plan to keep this bullet journal handy so I can see often to serve as a reminder at the beginning, end, and throughout the school day in general. The bullet journal will create a consistent, efficient, and effective way for me to continue self reflecting on my teaching with the use of a growth mindset.

Since my students are the ones who are directly receiving my teaching, their opinions are ones that I highly value. I plan to have a spot in my classroom where students can fill out a form that says "I wish my teacher knew". The students can sign them or write them anonymously and put them in a jar. I will read and reflect on the notes at the end of each week.
