Reflection in teaching is important because as a teacher you should ensure that you make the best choices for your students' learning. Giving yourself time to reflect will allow you to come up with new learning ideas to include in your lesson plan. Posner says reflection allows the teacher to see things from the student's point of view, which allows the student to better understand the situation. Teachers can become more reflective by using a daily or weekly log. The log will allow teachers to write down an experience they have had and subsequently reflect on the situation. Tell about a teacher who had a significant influence on you. Include details and how you think the experience might impact your teaching (positively or negatively).
