April Reading
For this month I read 20 ways to reflect upon your practice. I found several of these practices very helpful and believe that they will be very useful in my own classroom. The first practice that I found helpful is to audiotape or videotape yourself teaching. I know that sometimes when we are teaching we don't realize what we have said or how we have said it and that can confuse our students. By audio taping or videotaping yourself teaching it will help you be more cognisant of what you say. A second tip that I found very helpful in the reading is to conference with colleagues. I feel that they best thing you can do for yourself is to reflect on your practices and have somebody else reflect on your practices.

Liz! That ties in so well with the faculty meeting we had the other week when they talked about using the flip cameras in the classroom! The teacher was using it as a center but wound up using it to also improve her teaching because she heard and saw herself guiding instruction in the background. That sounds like a wonderful idea. No one likes watching themselves on camera, however, it can definitely be a very useful tool. And conferencing with colleagues is never a bad idea. We can always feed off one another. (Like you and I do so well already!)
