18. Be Sure to Reflect on: Students Teaching Strategies
It’s essential that candidates take time to consider what they noticed about their students in reflecting on their teaching. As they reflect on their students, they may determine other teaching strategies they need to try or revisit based upon their student knowledge and the conversations today. It may be too much to ask to have them reflect on both, but perhaps it isn’t for your candidates. This is also an opportunity for candidates to share logistical information with you about the cohort session. Using this individual form may be a safer way for some candidates to share concerns or questions.
