Taking the time to really try to understand the cause / effect of teaching choices almost always reveals something worth knowing. And in the Ignatian sense, it helps you to identify future actions / choices that could make subtle - but powerful - differences. Yes, indeed!

I wasn't exposed to the concept of reflection on teaching until coming to SLU. It has really helped me understand what aspects of my teaching excelled and what aspects totally flopped. But more importantly it has helped me understand WHY things succeeded and failed. Thanks Debie. I wasn’t exposed to the concept of reflection on teaching until coming to SLU.

In addition to there being some great advice / insight here on the use of blogs in teaching, there's also a lovely model of what reflecting on our teaching might look like. Thanks, Jerod, for sharing these lessons with the rest of us. And for being willing to call attention to those less-than-perfect teaching choices. We all have them - and the more willingly we bring them to light, the more effectively we can support and empower one another as teachers. What a great example of post-teaching reflection!
