A Prezi Guide to an Effective School – The Reflective Student, Teacher and Principal

Reflective School
This week I'm presenting at the "Teaching and Learning Conference" in Amphitheater SD (Tucson AZ). Next week, I will keynote at the "Rigor, Relevance and Relationships Leadership Conference" in Cyprus-Fairbank ISD (Houston TX).
In addition to workshops on learning strategies and educational technology, I will feature a session on "Teaching, Learning and Leading in a Reflective School." This workshop is based on my 4-part blog series "A Taxonomy of Reflection: Critical Thinking For Students, Teachers, and Principals."
To visually introduce my taxonomy, I created the Prezi presentation below. Click on the arrow at the base of the Prezi to navigate. Then click "More" to view full screen or embed. For a direct link to this Prezi click here.
Enjoy, reflect, and leave your feedback with a comment.

Carl,
Glad to hear you “took the leap.” Dr. Bonds told me it was very impressive. I’m looking forward to working with all the SAISD teachers this week. Be sure to bring you laptop so I can see your Prezi!
Cheers,
Peter

Wow. You were in my neck of the woods. Unfortunately previous travel plans did not allow me to attend this conference.
Oh yeah….FYI…Cypress-Fairbanks…not Cyprus.

Really enjoyed your prezi. We are working on creating a formative development at my school. There is no more summative evaluation. It is all about teacher growth. Thanks!

Hi Amanda,
Glad you liked the Prezi. Formative is the way to go. Much more useful than a post mortem.
You could incorporate some of the reflective prompts from the taxonomy. Follow the link to prompts for students, teachers and leaders here.

Thanks, Peter. I just read your section on classroom walk throughs and am intrigued by this concept. is this anything similar to the instructional rounds model promoted by Harvard Graduate School of Education?

Amanda, I think it has some parallels. Did you ever see this post ? We’re using some of the HGE ideas there. Learning Walks: The Power of Teacher to Teacher PD

I so look forward to your post. They are full of the best insights to be a better teacher and a life longer learner as I facilitate learning in my classes.
