Looking Backwards: Reflective Practice
Examine your prior experiences working with youth and children and their impact on your professional practice (in your classroom(s) or other educational setting(s)). Consider the grade/functional levels and the content/disciplines for which you designed and implemented instruction. Consider the learning outcomes that resulted, the challenges
you faced, and your core beliefs about teaching and learning. Afterwards, address the following questions:
• Name and describe impacts you have had on P–12 students’ learning.
• Discuss ways in which you have used feedback from your instructors or supervisors to improve your practice.
• Identify a minimum of two Touro GSE Candidate Learning Outcomes (CLOs) that you view as your strongest attributes and discuss why. Identify the specific outcomes and corresponding elements by name.
• Discuss any areas of concern you might have regarding the development of your ability to meet the needs of diverse learners and explain why.
