Reflections Step back and think about your lesson objectively. What went well? What would you want to change next time? What would make it even better? How could you expand upon the lesson / strategy next year? Time for some honest reflection. Remember, the lesson doesn’t have to have gone perfectly to have been a good learning experience for the class or for you. Maybe what you really learned was that this lesson was not a good match for this class --- it’s good to know what doesn’t work as well as what does.
