I try to complete the assignments I give students too, including reflections. I find that once I complete the assignment, I'm much more sensitive to their questions and work completion. I also think it's great that you shared your thinking with your class and asked for feedback. That really empowered your students and gave them a good model for what they had to do and for reflection in general -- a very powerful life skill. I also think it's wonderful that you refer students to the librarian for help in an area you don't feel as confident about. Perhaps, that area will be the focus of a future professional development time.

And making referrals between colleagues is a pretty common practice at our school: I've never really thought about it, but it is a healthy practice.MN Kilmernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6873658818189369311.post-18715626690457739842011-03-06T09:14:35.000+02:002011-03-06T09:14:35.000+02:00I always asked students to evaluate my teaching at...I always asked students to evaluate my teaching at the end of the year. I used this to prepare for the next year. I wish that I had thought to do it in the middle of the year like you've done. Cool.Larry Fliegelmanhttp://Principalspov.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.com
