OBJECTIVES OF THIS WORK

Through self-reflection and peer review with Joe Smith, a biology teacher,

I have aimed to improve the following aspects of my practice:

1. thoughtfully prepare objectives and success criteria students can use to guide and measure

their own learning

2. incorporate student inquiry activities for which I can collect artifacts to demonstrate engagement,

enhance rigor and foster growth mindset

3. encourage classroom routines to facilitate my own time management for lesson delivery

Beyond the instructional performance impact this project could have,

I agreed to this partnership for some important professional reasons:

to establish an ongoing, positive professional relationship with another teacher in the science department who teaches different content
to practice the delicate art of positively sharing my experience and insight as it applies to reflection of another teacher’s work
