February 12, 2013 at 8:13 pmI agree with Mr. Wiggins, feedback is vital to our learning and improvements in the classroom. At the end of each unit, I do plus deltas. Students share what worked and didn't work for them in the course of our learning. I learn a great deal from this reflection, which helps me reflect on my teaching. I also like the videoing a class idea. I have also had instructional facilitators observe and offer feedback as well. Always beneficial!
