Weekly Reflective Journal Format



Weekly Reflective Journal Format

We learn by doing and reflecting on what we do. (John Dewey)

Use this template to record your observations weekly. This document will be turned in every Monday following each week in the field. The weeks you teach will have a different format to follow. Please note that your document will be longer than one page.

Name:

Date:

Analyze your observations to identify specific teaching and learning strategies you observed involving the classroom teachers and their students. You may include your behavior if you are involved in the teaching process. Include more than one strategy.

|Instructional Strategies (Include more than one strategy) |Specific example describing how the strategy was implemented |

| | |

| | |

| | |

| | |

|Learning Styles observed |Specific examples how the learner was supported through instructional |

| |delivery |

| | |

| | |

1. What have you learned about teaching this week?

2. What have you observed/learned about students and their learning this week?

|Theory base observed |Specific example from classroom to apply/support theory |

| | |

| | |

Personal Reflection: Reflect specifically on something you observed and connect to personal opinions.
