Content: Why not? Don’t skip this part of the process, it’s the key. Teachers that love their jobs for the long term are reflective. Don’t just complain about students who don’t care or blame the parents for your lesson not working. You can only control what you can control - so reflect on your practice in the classroom and consider what you can do to make it better. As you evaluate your lesson, be sure to focus on the elements you are trying to improve. Always be Improving! You can repeat this cycle as many times as you want for as many standards as you want. If you want to keep working on the same standard, go for it. If you want to do something else, move on to another standard.
