As many teachers and school are nearing the homestretch of the school year (aka. after Spring Break), I thought this could be a good time to start some of the ‘end of year reflections’ a little earlier. I often found myself doing this at the very end of the year, and making the lists of ‘next year I’ll totally do ___’ as I looked back and thought about what I had learned through that year of teaching. This is great in that it helps us stay motivated for the fall, but I always felt like if I did this reflecting just a little bit earlier, maybe I could have applied things to the current year.
With that in mind - here is my question - What are your top ‘learnings’ from this year, that will help you teach with VEX?
This could be based on something that went really well for you that you want to be sure to keep up, or perhaps learning from the other side of things when something didn’t go as well as you had hoped. Perhaps its from learning you did in PD+, or conversations you had with other educators. The idea is just to offer up your top few, in the hopes that this thread then becomes a place for everyone to see and share and adapt ideas to take into their own practice - this year, and in the future.
I’ll tag a couple of people to get the ball rolling, like @James_Nesbitt, @Tina_Dietrich, @Laura_Mackay, @Anna_Blake, @Seth_Ogoe_Ayim, @Jessica_Drayer, @Michael_Poelzl. Feel free to tag another teacher when you post to keep the conversation going!
