It is evident that you have engaged in the appropriate sources of a reflective teacher participating in professional learning developing reflective practices as well as developing critical assessment skills in the classroom. Your worksheet of what works is fantastic demonstrating your reflective thoughts as well as developing visible learning strategies in the classroom. This is a key skill in delivering clear and explicit success criteria that models what success looks like building equality in the classroom (CESE What Works Best, 2020). You can see in your artefact how you have modelled the success criteria in management, and it would be great to showcase how you have transferred this skill into the classroom.

 

The star and wish chart are a resourceful professional learning tool. I like how you have described how this can be feature in professional collaborative sessions as means of receiving feedback and working towards reflecting and improving upon your teaching standard practices. Your wish of adapting the star and wish chart in the classroom is a great idea and evidently presents solutions and new ideas developed through your own reflective practices. I think self-assessment using your resource is an effective reflective strategy building metacognition skills amongst students as well as providing teacher feedback.

 

In addition to your self-assessment chart potentially you could add in a peer assessment element in the classroom building upon your skill of developing a positive and inclusive learning environment that you have showcased through some of your other artefacts. Further professional development extending upon your strengths of student feedback and encouraging participation may be looking at how these effective strategies also cultivate equality explored within CESE What Works Best 2020.
