Self-Reflection in Educators
Self reflection is a learned skill that should be practiced by both learners and educators, as it is an essential step in any growth process. Self-reflection involves careful examination of one's strengths and weaknesses, followed by a plan for change if necessary. In order to be able to teach self-reflection to your learners, though, you should be experienced in it yourself.
Self-reflection in educators asks you to set aside time to analyze and assess your own performance. This solitary time can bring to light which teaching methods are best suited for specific learners, and how effective they are in different educational environments. Once you have processed your reflections, you can then develop a plan to address what you have learned. Additionally, you can supplement your self-reflection by asking your learners for feedback.
