Great post. I agree that we can use a bit more “why did I do that?” thought in classrooms.

What I love about your post is that you are modeling what I wish teachers also would do in writing: reflect on their profession. Good job!

I have two examples of teacher who routinely reflect on the profession of teaching. Here they are:

Dennis, I’m so glad you enjoyed the post. You made my day! I’d been thinking about writing about this topic for some time, and reading the portrait of Anna gave me the motivation to do it. I agree that reflection is critical for students not only when they are in school, but throughout their lives. Thanks for your thoughtful response.

Dr. Pieper, I enjoyed your post. I look back on my graduate studies and realize how important reflection has been in my program. As I leave NAU and begin applying the skills I have learned I will remember this post in my learning and teaching.
As an older student I find joy in the aha moments of learning. Working with reflection was one of those moments. I find that the use of reflection is a useful tool outside of the classroom for resolving problems, self-assessment and setting new goals. I guess learning is learning where ever it happens to occur.

This is my view (and the views of some of the people who read my post) on reblogging: http://gogreygirl.wordpress.com/2011/12/28/when-does-reblogging-violate-copyright/

While the internet is about sharing information, it should NOT be about stealing other people’s work. Content theft is still theft, and I think we should all make it known that it is not right.

[...] Helping Students to Succeed « Northern Arizona University's e-Learning Center One way is to teach students to “think about their thinking.” In other words, we can teach them to develop metacognitive skills that will help them to become aware of their own thinking processes and use that self-awareness to regulate those processes. Researchers and practitioners agree that metacognition is critical to academic success. In a previous blog post , I promised to provide some easy-to-implement strategies for teaching metacognition in face-to-face and online courses. When I reviewed the research and talked to colleagues about what they were doing to promote metacognition in their classes, a theme emerged: The best way to teach metacognition is to do it in conjunction with activities and assignments that are already a part of your class. Here are some strategies for teaching your students to think about their thinking when they take exams, listen to lectures, or work on writing assignments in your class.
