Third-Year Reflection

Over the past three years, my teaching has become more deliberate and streamlined.
In the beginning, I emphasized clarity, fairness, and accessibility so that students could navigate the course with confidence and consistency.

That structure provided a dependable framework for learning. As I gained experience, I began to introduce small adjustments that supported active reasoning—brief prompts, short demonstrations, and student comparisons under the document camera. These additions encouraged participation and made students’ thinking easier to observe without affecting organization or pacing.

My use of technology followed a similar pattern. After establishing stable systems through Canvas, Zoom, and lab videos, I plan to test out specific tools such as MyOpenMath, Plickers, and Playlab to strengthen feedback and engagement in targeted ways.

Reflection has become part of this regular process rather than a separate step. Each observation informs a small adjustment, and those adjustments gradually clarify what supports learning most effectively. The result is a teaching practice that remains structured, consistent, and responsive.
