Your final thoughts of the entire book study

John Dewey described reflection as the “active, persistent, and careful consideration of any belief or supposed form of knowledge in light of the grounds that support.” The reflective practitioner examines his/her assumptions about students, subject matter, learning theory and techniques, the context, and his/her core beliefs in order to learn and grow his/her teaching practice. Reflection is recursive; reflection gives rise to action, which in turn leads back to reflection.
Reflect on the entire book study. Post what you learned or if you learned something you can apply in your class.
