Goal 5: Reflect, Step Back, Act #30Goals

Goal 5 of The 30 Goals Challenge 2011

Goal

Short-term– Reflect on your best and worst lesson this week or last semester then share this reflection. Want to go the extra mile? Read comments on the blog and respond to some of the questions and struggles of others in our community!
Long-term– Try recording a lesson live and having a colleague evaluate it. Also, develop a routine to take one day to reflect on your communication with your colleagues, students’ parents, or administrators!
