ADAMS STATE UNIVERSITY Student Teaching Field Experience Epilogue Final

Reflection

APPENDIX L

Student Teacher At the conclusion of the student teaching experience, it is appropriate to spend time reflecting on the experience and your growth as a professional. While this experience is fresh in your mind, consider the following questions and respond to them briefly. Use this to guide your narrative. This narrative should be in your Student Teaching notebook and your Professional Portfolio. It should also be turned into your Supervisor.

1. How successful were you in achieving your initial professional goals and in demonstrating your

ability to be a reflective decision maker?

2. What have you discovered about facilitating learning for students?

3. What have you discovered about professional responsibility?

4. How will you continue to grow as a professional (seek out and manage resources for the purpose

of instruction, develop positions on a wide-range of educational issues, understand and implement state standards, and model best practices) as you work toward acquiring your Professional Teacher’s License?
