Content: Create a cycle of reflection
Set aside a regular time and routine for teachers to reflect. In this routine, ask similar questions repeatedly over time, identify possible actions, and reflect on implementation. Choose a Purpose
Reflection yields more concrete actions when the purpose is clear. Some purposes include building class culture, empowering students, increasing student learning and engagement, or identifying biases. Use Open-Ended Probing Questions
Use questions that seek to learn more, to uncover underlying processes and values, and which encourage multiple possible perspectives or answers. Madhu Narayanan and Jill Ordynans are assistant professors at Relay Graduate School of Education. About The Author
