The Reflective Practitioner

Reflection is an important practice for teachers to do throughout each day and throughout the school year. 

Reflection is seen as indicators under Standard 6:  Professionalism.
6.4  Incorporates learning from professional growth opportunities into instructional practice and reflects upon the effectiveness of implemented strategies

6.5   Identifies and evaluates personal strengths and weaknesses and sets goals for improvement of skills and professional performance based on self-assessment and/or in collaboration with their evaluator

Your SLO and PPG provides you an avenue to formally reflect on how you have grown as a teacher and how your students have grown.  These need to be submitted on Friday, May 20 at 4pm.

If you are on cycle, you will need to set up a meeting with me on May 24th.  It is optional for the rest of you.  SLO End of Year Meetings
