 * Standard 9**

The teacher is a reflective practitioner who continually evaluates the effects of his or her choices and actions on pupils, parents, professionals in the learning community and others and who actively seeks out opportunities to grow professionally. 
 * Teachers are able to evaluate themselves. **
 * Evidence 1: **[[file:Schools in Twenty Years Reflection.doc]]


 * Rationale 1: **This reflection titled, “Schools in Twenty Years” is a reflection on my first year of teaching and ways I plan to make improvements in my instructional techniques and classroom management skills over the next few years. This paper peers into the possibilities technology will bring into the classroom by the year 2028 and how technology will impact both me and an instructor and the students in my classroom. It is important for all educators to take time to reflect on the past and project to the future and make changes now to prepare for the future and what it will bring to the classroom.


 * KSD:

Knowledge: ** 9.K.1 The teacher understands methods of inquiry that provide him/her with a variety of self-assessment and problem-solving strategies for reflecting on his/her practice, its influences on students’ growth and learning, and the complex interactions between them.

Reflection is about inquiry. What have I done? What worked well? What did not work well? How can I make improvements? How will technology change my classroom in the future? How can I prepare now for the technology to come?

**Skills: **9.S.3 The teacher seeks out professional literature, and other resources to support his/her own development as a learner and a teacher.

When reflecting it is important to compare yourself and your practices to experts in the field. When comparing yourself to others, you are able to better see your strengths, weaknesses, and areas needing improvement.

**Dispositions: **9.D.2 The teacher is committed to reflection, assessment, and learning as an ongoing process.

I often participate in informal reflection, usually after introducing a new technology or project to my students. Taking a few minutes to evaluate what worked and what didn’t, affords me the chance to improve upon the project and make it better for next time.
