Reflective Teacher

A reflective teacher must be that one that looks back and evaluate if everything that
he/she is doing is beneficial to the students. This means that a teacher must see if the
thing that he/she is doing is correct because the way the teacher is developing the class
can help or prejudice the students progress in class. For that we need to help us each
other teachers to see our faults and correct us and suggest what we need to correct.
But the teacher not only need to be observed to help each other, we need to see other
teachers giving classes because is a way we can reflect of our own actions in class if
we are doing it correct in our way of teaching or if we need to change something to do
the class more efficient. Sometimes is better to reflect ourselves using a technique that
is like a journal that all what we do is written in a place that we can analyze if we are
doing it right. The use of reflection is not to torture us that we are doing thing wrong but
the contrary the use of reflection is the best way to make us better educator that we are.
The use of reflection can help us correct things that we were doing that we thought it
was correct and fix it to improve our teaching skill and help us as people be better
educators for the students. We as educators need to be dynamic in our teaching in
which we can help the students to learn without falling in a routine that can damage the
learning of the students
The use of praxis is essential for a teacher to teach because is another way to
reflect our way of giving class. Praxis make us question our actions, it makes us change
the way of seeing learning into another way. So in other words praxis is a way of
reflecting the ideas and the way of teaching to correct what is wrong and modify what it
already exist. Why praxis is too difficult to introduce in class? Because the way that

people see this discipline is like a world changing style that can modify the world but the
purpose of the reflective method is to change the way we teach into the best so the
students can learn and apply what they learned thanks to a teacher that reflected what
he/she was doing in class.
To become this type of educator first I need see what type of educator am I so then
when I know how am I to see and reflect if is there something to change. The teacher
that I want to be is the teacher that notice that not everything is standardize and I as a
teacher can see that I can change things that can be beneficial to my class students so
their learning process could be effective and clean. Pass a good judgment of what is
correct to do in class so they can use the knowledge in critical thinking and analyzing
the material given in a professional way and remove what is damaging the way I teach
so the things that I give can be clear and precise.
