Becoming the Critically Reflective Teacher by CHRISTINE ABRAHAM https://padlet.com/cabraham9/bxooroa1xom71wbz What is the impact of being a reflective practitioner? In what ways do you think being a reflective practitioner has been a tool for growth, and/or a source of challenge, during your experience in pre-service training? (After discussing with your partner, jot the ideas you both came up with, then react or comment to your peers). en-us 2025-07-28 14:10:19 UTC 2025-07-29 17:11:32 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.net/icons/8.0/png/1f9d0.png cabraham9 https://padlet.com/cabraham9/bxooroa1xom71wbz/wish/3530362809 What advice would you give to the newbies next summer?

One month could get hectic or even a day!!! Also, save up whatever you can because you will be spending like crazy on food and you won’t get payed for like a month.

You have a truth, let me hear it. You have an identity, let’s celebrate it.” Not very practical, yet poetic Alicia_Frey https://padlet.com/cabraham9/bxooroa1xom71wbz/wish/3531293741 2025-07-29 16:46:50 UTC https://padlet.com/cabraham9/bxooroa1xom71wbz/wish/3531293741 https://padlet.com/cabraham9/bxooroa1xom71wbz/wish/3531293751 Be stern!

This is an important tool to help make each lesson better This helped me, when I missed the objective when I was unclear of the topic. I should have asked for help or looked for support outside of the classroom. https://padlet.com/cabraham9/bxooroa1xom71wbz/wish/3531296473 2025-07-29 16:54:29 UTC https://padlet.com/cabraham9/bxooroa1xom71wbz/wish/3531296473 What is the impact? https://padlet.com/cabraham9/bxooroa1xom71wbz/wish/3531297275 Reflective practitioners assess what went well and what didn’t, leading to ongoing improvement.

We have a lot of content, timing and pacing, we never get to usually reflect on all your students in the moment. That is the most challenging component of this, the real skill to reflect when time is available to ensure that you truly are meeting the needs of all your students (both during and after the conclusion of teacher fellows).

Being reflective is great because every lesson you improve and kind of implement certain things.

They are able to reflect on what went good and what went bad after/during a lesson and using this to adjust areas as needed.

I always come out of a lesson thinking about what worked and what didn't and how I can improve. It allows me to lean into my student's strengths and constantly evolve as a teacher.

Are the students learning the objectives? How was the delivery of the lesson, etc...
