Reflect on and improve performance by Sharon Crowther https://padlet.com/sharon_crowther21/ktycfu9nrv6x CHCPRP003 en-us 2019-02-28 12:39:46 UTC 2024-05-20 06:48:07 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet-assets.s3.amazonaws.com/icons/Rocket.png Reflecting upon your own performance....How ? * Keep a reflective journal. * Your reflective journal must be kept secure at all times, as it may contain notes about students’ personal details. * Your entries may describe student behaviours and how you have dealt with them. Ensure others cannot access your work. * Be careful to never identify any students or colleagues by name, to ensure their privacy and confidentiality is maintained. * Make regular entries * Self-reflection is most beneficial when carried out on a regular basis, as this reinforces the habit and helps you become more skilled at self-analysis. Your reflective practice journal notes can also be used as a means of identifying professional development opportunities and for raising points of discussion in evaluation sessions with your supervisor and/or peers. * A useful way to begin self-reflection is to have a series of questions that you ask yourself at the end of every day. These questions may include ‘What did I do well today?’, ‘What could I have done better?’, and ‘What can I learn from the experience?’. When using it to reflect on your practice, acknowledge what you are doing well and where you are improving, as well as any difficulties you are having. TASK 1: Write 5 questions that you could ask yourself each day to reflect upon your own performance. sharon_crowther21 https://padlet.com/sharon_crowther21/ktycfu9nrv6x/wish/336361295 2019-02-28 12:51:30 UTC https://padlet.com/sharon_crowther21/ktycfu9nrv6x/wish/336361295 Values, Beliefs and Behaviour sharon_crowther21 https://padlet.com/sharon_crowther21/ktycfu9nrv6x/wish/336363894   Working effectively in a school requires you to have a high level of self-awareness. This means understanding how your values, beliefs and behaviour may impact on your work and seeking appropriate support or advice for your skills and cultural awareness if needed.
 Values Values represent personal standards. We learn personal values from our families, social and cultural groups, religious beliefs, school and personal experiences. Values can vary between cultures and societies. For example, you may place high value on personal freedom and individuality; however, in some cultures it is more important, especially for women, to value conformity and duty to others.
 Beliefs Beliefs are based on what people believe to be true; for example, many people have religious beliefs that guide how they live their lives. Individual beliefs are not easily changed, as they provide a basis for a person’s understanding of the world. It is important to examine your own beliefs and not assume that what you believe is right and logical or that the beliefs of others are incorrect and irrational

 ‘I’ statements When you use the word ‘I’, you are taking ownership of what you say and sending a clear message about personal responsibility. The use of ‘I’ helps you communicate in a direct and active way and allows you to clearly state what you feel or think about a situation.
Active listening Active listening involves focusing all your attention on what another person is saying. Avoid interrupting until they have finished what they want to say. Ask questions or paraphrase what the speaker has said to clarify and check your understanding.
Observe body language Observing a person’s body language should give you an indication of how they are feeling and their level of comfort. If their body language reflects that they are upset by what you are saying, you may need to pause or change the way you are giving the information.
Respect difference Be aware of individual differences when providing feedback. For example, some people find it harder to give and receive feedback than others. There may also be cultural differences in the protocols of giving and receiving feedback.
Be supportive Avoid focusing only on negative aspects of a person’s behaviour or performance. Acknowledge what they do well and what they are good at in addition to areas where they can improve ]]> 2019-02-28 13:01:04 UTC https://padlet.com/sharon_crowther21/ktycfu9nrv6x/wish/336364663 sharon_crowther21 https://padlet.com/sharon_crowther21/ktycfu9nrv6x/wish/336367628 Click on the image below and look at the document - how could it help you in reflecting on your performance?]]> 2019-02-28 13:09:41 UTC https://padlet.com/sharon_crowther21/ktycfu9nrv6x/wish/336367628 Reflective practice. sharon_crowther21 https://padlet.com/sharon_crowther21/ktycfu9nrv6x/wish/336671619 Read the following....]]> 2019-02-28 22:28:46 UTC https://padlet.com/sharon_crowther21/ktycfu9nrv6x/wish/336671619 Critical Reflection sharon_crowther21 https://padlet.com/sharon_crowther21/ktycfu9nrv6x/wish/336673069 A brief video to watch....]]> 2019-02-28 22:35:02 UTC https://padlet.com/sharon_crowther21/ktycfu9nrv6x/wish/336673069 And now....
