Reflective practice in teaching is arguably one of the most important sources of personal professional development and improvement. Reflections help me develop my skills and review their effectiveness. I question myself on what I did and why I did it and then decide whether there is a better or more efficient way of doing it in the future. As I continue to attend more and more conferences and professional developments, I am able to apply the information to my educational experience. Along with that, in student teaching, we do weekly reflections on things that stood out to us. In these reflections, I try to collect information regarding activities in the classrooms and take the time to analyze them from a distance and I look at the underlying principles and beliefs that define the way that they work. This kind of self-awareness is a powerful ally for a teacher, especially when so much of what and how they teach can change in the moment.
