Instructor Pre-Assessment
This section attends to the nature of reflective teaching, self-evaluation, action research, peer mentoring, micro teaching and professional development. These are contents you think about under the ‘what’ and ‘why’ questions, to ensure that your teaching is meaningful and that your students can learn. Engagement in questioning is an indication that you care about your teaching and students. You will become critical of your teaching practice. This assessment provides you with an opportunity to make reflective teaching take place in your experience.
Reflective teaching means looking at what you do in the classroom and giving it a meaning by attaching the why question to what you go through. You also empower your students to ask these why questions to their classroom experiences. You start by recognizing that you and your students are key persons in the learning environment. Your being in the classroom must make sense to you and your students. Your relived/recalled experiences as a teacher and those of your students are explored and evaluated to let you fulfill your mission and vision in the teaching profession.
