Areas of Reflection

If you were a fly on the wall, what would you see and hear in your classroom? As an administrator, what would you see and hear in your school? Self-Reflection is key to effective teaching and learning. Successful educators know that no matter how good a lesson is in the moment or how good the school rating is, there’s always room for improvement. Great teachers and administrators look for ways to become better at their craft. We will explore five areas of reflection for educators.

According to Beverly Flaxington of Psychology Today, self-reflection is a lost art. In the article, The Lost Art of Self-Reflection, Flaxington states, “It’s quite unpopular today to engage in healthy self-reflection, or to put it in another way, “What’s my role in my problems and how could I address things differently for different results?” Looking outside is so much easier. You can point to the other person, outline their foibles and failings very easily, and then rest comfortably knowing the culprit has been identified!”

Benefits of Walking

Educators,  walking as an exercise is underrated by many of us. Yet, it is something that is an easy option to help combat stress and burnout. The benefits of walking are worth giving up 30 minutes of your day.  Recently, I started a 30-30-30 Walk Challenge with friends, family, and colleagues. The rules are short and straightforward. We vowed to walk at least 30 consecutive minutes for 30 straight days. At the end of 30 days, each person completes 30 walks. When the challenge ended, participants’ testimonies range from losing weight or inches to feeling more energetic.
