Week 5 KWL

Things I know about writing with a purpose and reflective practice:
  • It is always a good idea to proof read your writing for grammar, punctuation, mechanics, etc.
  • Tone in writing is important, as is knowing your audience.
  • Professional and scholarly writing should be different in tone, style and formality than personal and creative writing.
  • Reflection is important for professional development.
  • Professional reflection can improve your teaching abilities and increase your impact on students.

Things I want to know:
  • What are the best methods for implementing and using reflective writings for professional development purposes?
  • How can reflective writings be incorporated into my weekly/monthly teaching routines?
  • What are the best ways to use reflective writings in my portfolio?

Things I learned:
  • Reflection is a tool for learning.
  • It may be a good idea to have someone else proof read your writing before posting it or using it in your portfolio.
  • Reflection helps to justify why you have chosen to include a certain artifact in your portfolio.
  • Reflective writing can show growth and what you have learned from an experience.
