Binder 3 - The CEO Reflective Journal

The development of a Reflective Journal throughout the CEO process will help focus your attention on the educational growth you are experiencing. You will reflect on the impact your teaching is having on your students’ learning, as it relates to your growth in knowledge and skills.

Keep reflections of all phases of the CEO process as you move forward with your work.
  

Formal Reflections

Formal reflections are those addressing professional development or other major activities that you feel have an impacting significance on your growth. 
   

Final Reflection

Binder 3 will also include a final reflection. This reflection is a 1000-1500 word summary which provides a convincing analysis that describes

  • your professional growth over time and its impact on your teaching.
  • the impact that the CEO has on student learning in your class and school over time
  • how you plan to continue your future professional growth.
