The Power of Self-Evaluation
1) Choose a narrow focus for the initial reflection. Do not try to re-evaluate your entire practice in one session. This might be an evaluation of classroom norms, a review of classroom culture, or a reflection on classroom assessment techniques.
2) Select a tool for reflection. Some ideas include keeping a journal, video recording your lesson, collecting student feedback, or asking for a peer observation from someone such as a department member, a co-teacher, or an instructional coach.
3) Reflect on the evidence you have collected. Look for patterns and anomalies. Celebrate your strengths, and make a plan for addressing any areas for growth.
