Overall, I believe my clinical teacher can benefit
tremendously from reading the "An Educator's Guide to Teacher
Reflection" article and implementing it within her classroom. If my
clinical teacher were to take a closer look and self-reflect on her teaching
practices, her classroom dynamic would alter tremendously which would, ultimately,
designate a new classroom climate. My clinical teacher should find more ways to
organize for cooperative learning and conduct her own research of her students
to decipher this. By doing her own research, she will be able to:
- Plan group work specifically assigned with particular learning goals of the lesson
- Provide a structure for the kind of social interaction she intends to observe among each group
- Identify each of the group discussions to determine whether learning is being achieved
- Practice ways in which to not intrude the group dynamics
I strongly believe that if my clinical teacher
adheres to these guidelines, she can change the way she approaches and
structures group time with her class. She can also make a plan to collect data
to make sure these changes promote the type of cooperative climate she wants
for her classroom.
The video I have chosen discusses ways in which a
teacher can improve teaching through reflective practices. I hope you all enjoy
it and find it useful as I have.
Enjoy! :)
