1.What it means to reflect on our career goals as a teacher.
2. Why taking time to reflect on your career goals is an important part of longevity in education.
3.How to reflect on your career goals in a way that helps you choose next steps.
Quotables:

End of Year Reflection in Your Upper Elementary Classroom
In this episode:
I talk about the what, why and how of reflecting on our past school experiences and the positive and/or negative impact they have on your teaching.
We talk about:
1.What it means to reflect on our school experiences.
2. Why taking time to reflect on past school experiences is a necessary step in growing our practice as teachers.
3.How to reflect on both the positive experiences and think about the impact they have on your teaching.
Quotables:
- Our school experiences whether positive or negative are likely impacting how we show up in our classrooms with our students every single day.
- There have been times when a teacher has told me that they hate teaching reading, because they themselves feel like they weren’t good at reading.
-I had a teacher who would tutor me in highschool and helped me to see that I could figure things out as a learner. She showed me what a growth mindset was before that was a thing.
