Thank you, Abeer Suhail for reposting this. I hope this will be useful and give a starting point to promote reflection on different subjects. Often, educators think too much about 'doing reflections' in practice. Reflection does not have to be complicated and take a long time. It could be as simple as the 'thumbs strategy' or a quick 3-minute drawing activity. It depends on the context and topic. https://lnkd.in/eGChrnPW Yes, we do need to provide time for learners to reflect. How often? Well, reflection is an ongoing process. Whenever we stop/pause and think, we reflect. We ask ourselves, 'Hhmmm..what should I do? Why isn't it working? Are there any other options? etc.' So, if we think of reflection as a natural activity, then it can be incorporated easily. Pause and think - also make time to take action about our thinking. Please continue sharing your practice so that we all can learn together. #reflectionskills #developingreflectivelearners #ibatlskills

Our personal and professional lives have (or should have) two stages of learning 1.    Knowledge from the books 2.    Wisdom from the observations At some point in life, you switch from books to observations, obviously not completely. The stronger your observations are, the quicker your journey to excellence is. If the observations are not flawed, the books, you read or have read, start making more sense and are easily comprehended. This later phase of learning is, of course, more than a school of superior education. There must be no doubt that this plays a critical role in thinking about and judging the knowledge acquired, various ideas, and perceptions.

📚✨ What is quality teaching? 📚✨ Quality teaching is more than just conveying facts; it's about inspiring and empowering the next generation. 🌟 At its core, quality teaching is about: 1. Passion: A genuine passion for the subject matter and for the art of teaching itself. When teachers love what they teach, it's contagious, and students become eager learners. 2. Adaptability: Recognizing that every student is unique and tailoring teaching methods to meet diverse needs. Flexibility in the classroom is key. 3. Empathy: Understanding that students are more than just vessels for knowledge. Quality teaching involves forming meaningful connections and being attuned to the emotional well-being of students. 4. Continuous Learning: Great teachers never stop learning. They stay updated with the latest research and educational trends to provide the best possible education. 5. Feedback and Improvement: Encouraging a growth mindset by providing constructive feedback and fostering an environment where students aren't afraid to make mistakes. 6. Innovation: Embracing new technologies and teaching methodologies to keep education fresh and engaging. 7. Commitment: Going the extra mile to ensure that students have the tools and support they need to succeed. In essence, quality teaching is an art, a science, and a profound responsibility. It's about shaping minds, nurturing curiosity, and lighting the path to a lifetime of learning. 🌱 What does quality teaching mean to you?

Grateful beyond words 🙏 Yesterday, on Teacher's Day, my heart was filled with an overwhelming wave of emotions. I received messages from my present and former students, parents, and friends, and one message, in particular, touched my soul. One of my ex-students shared a memory that made me realize the true impact of teaching. He wrote, "Another funny thing is how much I hated chemistry, but this one particular woman made sure it was learnable. She sacrificed her weekends, her holidays, and her breaks, just so we could understand it. Ms.Iyare really did us a solid because when both international and national exams came along, we were more than prepared." Those words brought tears to my eyes. As an educator, it's moments like these that make it all worthwhile. The countless hours spent, the dedication, and the determination to help my students learn and succeed. To all my students, past and present, and to the amazing teachers who inspire me every day, thank you for being a part of this incredible journey. Education is not just about textbooks and exams; it's about the impact we leave on young minds and their futures. Let's keep inspiring and nurturing the leaders of tomorrow. Find the screenshot of the text message attached in the comment section. I think I am going to frame this message 🙈😊🥳 #Teaching #Education #Gratitude #TeachersDay
