Reflection On Practicum Reflection - 1000 Words

As I write this reflection on Thanksgiving break I ponder my experience throughout this practicum and how thankful I am for this opportunity. Throughout this experience, it has put me out of my comfort zone. I learned at a summer conference that if you are comfortable in what you are doing you are not learning. Well, I have been extremely uncomfortable all while learning a plethora of new knowledge. This practicum has brought me new involvement in committees at our school and helped me in finding my voice. The tool created by John Driscoll: â€Å"What? ‘So What?’ and â€Å"Now What?’, was a great model to use throughout the practicum. It guided me and gave me direction, along with helping me put all of the work into an organized format. Throughout†¦show more content†¦I have gained peoples respect, peoples trust, and most importantly, I have shown my abilities to my colleagues. I believe that they now have an understanding of who I am and what I am capable of. If not having done this practicum, I honestly don’t know where I would sit with my colleagues. I believe they would not know the person that I am, besides their own thoughts about me. The roles that these committees have put myself are unbelievable to me. At the start of the Teacher Leadership Academy, never did I think that I would help lead a discussion with members of the Teacher Leadership Academy to the staff at Oakes Public Schools. Never did I believe that my colleagues would trust me in taking on a large project to better our school. I am so thankful that they did and I am proud that they trusted me and I them. Therefore, for a committee to be successful, we need to be able to have those fierce conversations. As a group, we need to speak up for what we believe and voice our concerns. Our concerns will not go away by not talking about them. By sharing the concerns, I believe it will help in the long run if a problem similar to that arises. Before this practicum, I was set in my ways and now after going through this process I have changed for the better and value everyone’s opinion. I am now a better listener and will offer my thoughts as feedback for my colleague. I have also learned that I am a leader and I can make changes for theShow MoreRelatedReflection of the Practicum1362 Words   |  5 Pages Reflection of the Practicum Evidence based instruction is a collection of practices that have been tested and show a record of success and improvement.
