The old saying that there is always room for improvement holds true as an educator. It is important for teachers to constantly look back and reflect upon their lessons to find out what went well and what did not go so well. Teachers should use the reflective teaching cycle with each of their lessons, units, and years to look back at how they did as teachers and how the students responded to the lessons. Teachers should then use the information that they obtain through reflection to decide how to modify lessons to better teach their students.
In my classroom, I plan to use the reflective teaching cycle by collecting data on student performance and try to pair it with my lessons to see what is working well for the students and what needs to be changed. I plan to do this by collecting data through formative and summative assessments, then review student performance on the assessment, and when I discover difficulties I will look at my lessons and see what may have caused the students to struggle.
