 REFLECTING ON LEARNING PSIII
Inquiry Question: How can I work with my students to foster a classroom environment where students feel safe
to learn, make mistakes, and grow?
Reflection at midway point
Achievements
- Reduced assignment load
- Positive relationships with
students in Grade 9
- Implemented low-risk feedback
strategies in Chem 20 (thumbs up/
thumbs down)
In Progress
- Finding a balance between
reduced load and adequate
opportunity to demonstrate
learning- Gr 9
- Building relationships with
students in Chem 20
Future Considerations
- How to maintain student
engagement during class
- Classroom management to reduce
disruptions and improve learning
- Good relationships all for greater
student learning

Reflection at end of term:

I have implemented an Exit Slip strategy of a few quick questions for the grade 9’s to have plenty of
chances to show their learning in addition to quizzes and tests. I have also managed to build good
relationships with many Chem 20 students, to the point that many are now comfortable asking me questions
when they need help and are comfortable casually socializing with each other before class.

Inquiry Question: How can I effectively use Teams and other resources to help students stay caught up over
extended absences?

Reflection at midway point

Achievements
- Consistently update Teams with
notes and worksheets by the end
of each class
In Progress
- Utilizing outside learning
materials (videos, etc) as extra
resources available for students
Future Considerations
- Teams does weird things to the
formatting of Word docs.
- Students have trouble seeing/
using the Channels feature
-

Reflection at end of term:

I have successfully increased the number of resources available to my students in a timely manner, and
each class I go over with them via sharescreen where to find resources and assignments. I am still
increasing the number of resources available to them, but I feel as if that will be an ongoing thing all the
way to the end of the course.
