The Importance of Reflection…
I have just finished reading this post over at the Cool Cat Teacher Blog. The opportunity to collect such reflections from both students and teachers after such a major project is invaluable - and absolutely imperative. This year I will be involved in a Year 9 experiential learning program for most of my teaching load. 4 classes, 5 teachers, one learning space (well… after it’s built, for now it will be 4 classrooms with open doors…) and cross curricular content. It’s a new program, and will no doubt have both successes and ideas that will need reworking - and serious, constructive reflection and critique will be imperative to that process. I think it would be great to have the classes blogging through this whole process, and I hope my new colleagues will be open to that possibility.
