Why You Must Reflect and Improve
Students are what we do. They are the center of our classroom, not us. However, as a teacher, I am the most impactful single person in the classroom. Honest feedback from our students will help me level up.
I've been doing this for more than ten years. Sometimes I laugh, sometimes I cry -- and sometimes I'm mortified. But I can honestly say that every single piece of feedback I've received has made me a better teacher. And great teachers are never afraid of having or inviting hard conversations. This is one of best practices that has helped me to be a better, more excited teacher every year.

i agree! As a teacher, I always sought to improve and make my classroom more effective for students. End of year surveys helped a lot. I also had students write letters to next year's students. This gave me insight into how the course and classroom activities helped or hampered their learning. summer is a great -- there is actually time to reflect. as lessons change, there is time to do researxh and gather resources.
