A great exercise today was the "reflective wheel"! We got into groups of eight with four people in the center spoke facing out and four people in the outer spoke facing in. We started with sharing our philosophy of teaching by sharing with the person in front of us for 60 seconds, then listening to them for 60 seconds, then moving clockwise around the circle to the next person and narrowing it down to 30 seconds, etc. then down to 15 seconds and then down to 5 seconds.
I appreciated that we could narrow our thoughts down to some good nuggets about who we are as teachers. While I've thought often about how I want this to look moving forward I don't think I have ever verbalized my impressions and perceptions.
It's actually a great tool that could be used in various places throughout a classroom both for personal growth and for the sharing of knowledge:)
