Teacher Reflection First (10-15 minutes)
Teacher Reflection First (10-15 minutes)
Critical principle: The teacher speaks first and speaks more.
Opening questions:
- "How do you feel the lesson went?"
- "What stood out to you?"
- "What are you thinking about?"
Probing questions:
- "Can you say more about that?"
- "What made you decide to...?"
- "How did you feel when...?"
- "What did you notice about [specific student/group]?"
Listen actively:
- Take notes
- Paraphrase what you hear
- Don't jump to solutions
- Let silence work—teachers need time to process
