Reflecting after class
As you are developing your teaching practice, it is good practice to take time to write notes after each class you lead. The note-taking can help you identify strengths and areas for improvement. In your notes include:
- The class’s level of understanding of the content and if anything needs to be reviewed next class
- Any unanswered questions for which you need to consult the instructor
- Reflect on the timing and delivery method of various activities, any areas for improvement to try next time (e.g., give students more time to work individually before gathering in groups)
