Teaching & Learning: After the Instruction Session

Engage in systematic reflection on your own teaching. Easy and consistent strategies for keeping track of your teaching are to annotate worksheets, lesson plans and teaching activities. End-of-academic-quarter summaries also help you reflect on your teaching and help you develop new workshops or improve versions of current lesson plans. 

Other aspects of reflection include:

• Assessing your impact by determining whether students have met the desired goals
• Evaluating how you might revise and reuse your content and instructional materials in the future

• Follow up with students or the course instructor on questions they still have.
• If your assessment involved gathering data, here are some resources for evaluating and analyzing that data:
