At this point in the semester, I\u2019m feeling like it’s crunch time for my current course, but I\u2019m also starting to plan for next semester.\u00a0 I\u2019ve been reflecting on what didn\u2019t work and what I would change to make my course or lessons better.\u00a0 While speaking with some colleague friends, we were discussing the idea of celebrating the good.\u00a0 We\u2019ve made it 14 weeks, and only have 2 weeks to go before school\u2019s out for the summer. \u00a0However, we were wishing we had accomplished more in our courses.<\/p>\n
As I thought\u00a0about this discussion I had with my friends and my plans for my new class, I realized\u00a0I needed to reflect on what worked.\u00a0 Where was I successful?\u00a0 What activities supported my students and helped them progress as learners?\u00a0 How about allowing my students time to think about what worked for them<\/em>?\u00a0 What would they recommend that I keep in my course?<\/p>\n It seems that as we reflect on the past and on what did not work, we lose sight of all the good and what worked well.\u00a0 So my short and sweet reminder is to think about what DID work for you this semester.\u00a0 What do you want to keep hold of and continue to do?\u00a0\u00a0 Remember to celebrate the good that led up to these last two weeks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" At this point in the semester, I\u2019m feeling like it’s crunch time for my current course, but I\u2019m also starting to plan […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":9,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[110],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1914","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-teaching-tips"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p5DI6r-uS","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/content.principia.edu\/teaching-excellence\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1914","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/content.principia.edu\/teaching-excellence\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/content.principia.edu\/teaching-excellence\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/content.principia.edu\/teaching-excellence\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/9"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/content.principia.edu\/teaching-excellence\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1914"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/content.principia.edu\/teaching-excellence\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1914\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1917,"href":"https:\/\/content.principia.edu\/teaching-excellence\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1914\/revisions\/1917"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/content.principia.edu\/teaching-excellence\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1914"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/content.principia.edu\/teaching-excellence\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1914"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/content.principia.edu\/teaching-excellence\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1914"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
