This article speaks true to my experience in the School in Education. I know that I am programmed to think and reflect about all aspects of education. I reflect on anything that I do in the classroom. The model in the SOE has made me write a lesson plan, teach the lesson plan, write a reflection on the lesson and then discuss the reflection and the lesson. I feel that this model has led me to a great start for teaching.
Since my experience has been a little different in the last couple of weeks with my CT out for medical reasons, I have accepted a new CT, the reading specialist at my school. After my first observation, I had not even finished the hour of my lesson and I was already discussing and reflecting about the lesson for the next time. The first comment from my new CT was that I have very good reflection skills before I had even finished my lesson.
When I reflect I think about what I want the outcome of my next lesson and how I can improve my lesson for my students. This article gave me many resources to think about and realize that there are resources for my reflection other than my own thoughts and my colleagues in my school.
