Concluding the Course
Step 1: Reviewing the Module
Review the guiding questions and key points for Module 8 and think about the ideas and materials you created that can be used in your classroom, instruction, or planning.
Step 2: Reflecting on the Course
At the end of a journey like the one you have taken during this course, busy teachers may be tempted to breathe a sigh of relief and move on to the next demand on their time. Research shows, however, that thinking systematically about a learning experience through a structured reflection is critical for long-term learning (Pearson & Smith). Take the time to look back on your experiences now that you have completed the course.
- Go to your personal blog, create an entry entitled Module 8 Reflection, copy and paste the following prompt into your entry, and write your response:
Of everything you learned, what do you think
will have the biggest impact on learning?
- Read all of your colleagues’ responses and start a conversation with any that interest you in their personal blogs.
 Note: You may want to tag or bookmark your colleagues’ blogs in order continue your conversations about your teaching practice after you complete the course.
