Stop and Think: Reflective Journal

By Dr. Geraldine T. Calhoun

When utilizing this teacher reflective journal, you will learn from your own personal and professional experiences to improve your teaching practice.

Step back in time with me for just a little. Do you remember those nights when you dreamed about making the greatest impact on the world through teaching? Those dreams allowed you to actively reflect on your thoughts and construct a plan of action. Utilizing a journal is a great way to plan and improve upon numerous teaching qualities and skills. This teacher reflective journal was created with you in mind. I wanted to create a resource for all educators that would help and encourage you to identify innovative strategies, approaches, and methods. When using this resource, you will discover alternative ways to enhance your teaching practice, which will improve and meet your student's needs.

Top five reasons why educators should keep a teacher reflective journal are as follows:

1. Enhance problem-solving

2. Enhance professional development

3. Enhance collaboration and collegiality

4. Enhance reflective inquiry

5. Enhance teacher-student relationship

We do not learn from experience...we learn from reflecting on experience.

--John Dewey
