PWN Reflective Practice

PWN Reflective Practice

Use this form to submit your individual reflection each month.
Reflective Practice IS
- Making time and space to practice reflecting on what happens in our classrooms
- Focused on students’ mathematical understanding
- Centered on a finite moment of time (not an entire unit, week, or lesson)
Reflective Practice IS NOT
- Focused on what you, the teacher, were doing in that moment
- Evaluation of your teaching in any way whatsoever
- A five-paragraph essay
Choose one discrete moment (say, 15 minutes of time) when children were doing mathematical thinking in your classroom. You may choose this timeframe in advance and decide to record it using written notes, video, or photos. Or, you might choose to focus on a significant moment that stood out to you this month.

This is your Reflective Practice for the month of...*
*No Reflective Practice for December! That month is TOO BUSY and TOO SHORT.
First, use your observations (from your recordings or memory) to describe what happened in that moment (without critiquing or assigning value). What were children doing? What were they saying? What materials were they using?*

0/50
Next, consider what the students you observed CAN do. What evidence of mathematical thinking did you see or hear during this time? What strengths can you identify? What growth do you notice?*

0/50
Finally, identify one instructional next step for yourself based on this observation. What more do you want to find out? What do you want to try next? Where are opportunities to connect this mathematical thinking to new contexts?*

0/50
Include any images or documents that will help give context to your observations.
