- To be reflective with colleagues, in my journal, and with my students in order to foster a growth mindset and show growth in my teaching
- To remember to entertain perspectives of others
- To remember that reflection is not a mirror that always shows faults
- To take the time to look back, find the strengths and identify the mistakes, and make improvements to learn and grow as a teacher
- To not be afraid of the results of reflection
"We do not learn from experience ... we learn from reflecting on experience."
