It’s important to take time after you teach a lesson to reflect on what happened; what went well and that you want to continue, as well as what you can learn from and change in your next session.
After you teach, use the questions in the form below to organize your self-reflection. The answers aren’t necessarily meant to be shared (although you could certainly share them with your instruction mentor if you’d like) but to help you reflect on and improve your own teaching practice. (Questions adapted from Booth, Char. 2011. Reflective Teaching, Effective Learning: Instructional Literacy for Library Educators. Chicago: American Library Association.)
