A past post about reflecting on learning
At the moment, I'm developing some resources to support teachers I work with (SMATA app or coaching) in becoming more attuned and responsive to their learners.
I’ve been revisiting some past On Learning posts as part of that process, and one that I think is useful for teachers is the one linked to below. It explores the difference between how we reflect in learning mode versus how we reflect in performance mode. This difference is worth thinking about if observation data is used for reflection. Which it should be :)
“Typically, under the take-stock-and-work-out-what-next approach to reflection, the goal is the focus; meeting it, shifting ‘things’ closer towards it, the whole point of the exercise. The mistake we make is to think this is appropriate to all times and contexts.”
Plus, check out the really interesting comment from Andrew C.
I hope it’s useful for you.
