Self-reflection in the Classroom
Feedback I most value often comes from the students in my classroom. Although I care about my colleagues and administrators opinions, what my students think matters more to me. It is important for my administrators to observe and evaluate my effectiveness. This feedback is great for continuing my career, as well as building relationships with my peers. I beileve my overall effectiveness stems from the growth and development of my students. This means that I must not only personally reflect on my teaching, but I must look for my students success as a reflection of my own.
With this said, I have created examples of reflection worksheets that I will use in my future classroom. The first is used for my peresonal reflections where I will document what went well, and what needs changing. The next two are for students to reflect on my teaching, and the lessons given to them. The last reflection is meant for my students. It is important to show them that no matter what age, it is important to identify our strengths and work on areas of need.

Self assessment Questions
Self assessment Questions
A worksheet or chart like this gives me a great base of questions and expectations to work on. Each month, I could focus on one of these sections to then improve my overall teaching style. Just like the students, I will assess myself, and reflect on the procedures and expectations that work and those that should be adjusted. This chart will be on my desk at all times as a reminder. The reflection notes I create during the month can also be shared with my administration to compare our thoughts.

Student individual reflection
Student individual reflection
The reflection worksheet for students is meant to check in with students progress. Throughout the year this worksheet will be given to students, they can fill it out with their thoughts, and I will share mine after they turn it in to me. This way students not only see their own goals, but mine aswell.
Student to teacher reflection
Student to teacher reflection
This reflection sheet is meant for students to assess their classroom and their teacher. The questions asked are related to what parts of the classroom and teaching that the student like, and the parts of both that they think should change and why. After getting these reflection sheets back, I can determine what needs to be changed, and as a whole class we can decide how to change these aspects of the classroom and or teaching. The last question is to get more personal information from the student. If they want me to talk about dolphins or basketball more, I can incorporate those into my lessons.

Peer Progress Report
Peer Progress Report
These worksheets are extrememly helpful after students share their work and are offering their partner advice on how to tweek or add to their work. This form of reflection is meant for younger students. They do not need to write anything besides their name and their partners. They can circle the emoji that coinsides with their answers. I will go through it the first time with the entire class. After they are completed, students will turn in these reflections to show their progress as well as compare their evaluations to my own.
