Reflection
I love writing, other people’s stories and lives. I admit that it becomes a bit more difficult when it comes to giving your own reflection. When it comes to reflecting on my professional practice, I felt at the beginning of doing the blogs that I had to have the perfect answer and antidote for my reflections. I think overcoming the fear of saying exactly how I felt is the most important part of completing my blog reflections for my courses. I think that having these reflections shows me how important it is for me to improve and strengthen my abilities as a coach. I need to look inside myself like I look at the faculty, staff, and students that I will be over. It helps to provide me with an understanding of how I need to approach people. I need to reflect on my own strengths and weaknesses.
I think I showed mastery in this standard because I put all of my feelings out in my blogs, good or bad, when it comes to reflection on what I learned or what I did not learn. I want to be able to effectively model and facilitate technology-enhanced learning experiences and the way to be successful at it is to reflect on my own experiences as I grew in this field. I used the blogs as a way to see my own growth and confidence in this field and how to do what I needed to be successful. This is a way to look at the people you are going to come in contact with. You want them to look at what they have accomplished with pride. You also want them to recognize their own limitations and know that they need help with becoming better educators.
I think the only thing that I would change is regulating my blogs outside of my assignments. As I reach the end of this journey, I would have liked to have more non-assigned blogging where I could really look back on my professional journey in this program and have an even deeper reflection on my journey throughout the program. It would be not only beneficial to me but to others who may ask me about this program.
I think that by my own reflections and looking into improving and strengthening my abilities help improve faculty development and student learning. As a leader, it is required that you look into your own abilities as a coach and how to lead so you can be an effective leader to others. Students and adults will be looking to you for guidance and if you do not understand your own learning, how can you lead others. It is necessary to regularly evaluate and reflect on your style of learning and delivery so that you can provide the best for your staff and students. The blog reflections show how you are assessing regularly what effect you are having on your staff that you are working with and how to become a better, stronger leader when it comes to delivering those technological advances that will improve both teachers and students.
