Hello everyone ! I want to share something with you . Read it :)
“By three methods we may learn
wisdom: First, by reflection, which is noblest; Second, by imitation, which is
easiest; and third by experience, which is the bitterest.” – Confucius
It is easy for teachers to spend so much time and
energy focused on their students’ progress that they forget to consider their
own performance. Self reflection can be a valuable tool that helps make you
aware of how you are teaching, which in turn makes you a better teacher.
Teaching without reflection is teaching blind – without any knowledge of
effectiveness.
It can be difficult and time consuming for teachers to
scrutinize their performance, but like any other occupation it is essential for
improvement. Asking deliberate questions, reflecting on the answers, then
implementing changes on how you approach your teaching based on your
reflection differentiates decent
teachers from great teachers.
I like very much the expression you have written. Keeping a juornal is a kind of reflection, and reflection is what makes you a great teacher, because through it you can improve yourself as a teacher. Hope we not to focus only on the students progress, but also on our own performance.

Hi Aurora, I think that you are right on the point that being a great teacher requires a lot of self-evaluation and self-reflection.We are always on improvement.
ReplyDeleteHello Aurora. I've just read your post and I find it very interesting. It is true that being a good teacher needs a lot of efforts and hardwork. Sometimes only the knowledge we posses is not sufficent to be a teacher with good qualities and performance. We need to find the right way how to transmit knowledge to our students.
