ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Show Notes:
In this episode, Amanda and Jessica talk about reflective teaching, some ideas about journaling and improving our professional practices through reflection.
Topics & Takeaways:
- We improve the more we teach but can we make more opportunities to learn from our teaching through reflection? How do we actively learn about our teaching or professional self to grow from it?
- Instruction journals allow librarians to get thoughts out about what went well, what did I think I could improve or were there any interesting student interactions in order to reflect and look for patterns.
- Brainstorm journals that are reviewed frequently can be another form of journal.
- Librarian to librarian observation and feedback can be a system-level way to learn about your instruction and reflect on it with help from others.
- Feedback from faculty and students can be helpful, with a few caveats.
- Just writing down things you learned each day for about 15 minutes can improve our learning.
