Reflection on Instructing with Intention

My level of knowledge and skill relative to my level of performance is relatively proportional. In my future teaching practice, I would improve on the following two areas to better my performance—one of the areas I need to improve in the areas of noticing the learner's needs. I need to notice misconceptions, errors, and confusion that may affect their rate of learning. It is important to learn to identify the position of the learners by use of relevant probing questions, which might trigger thinking and responding to learning issues (Fisher & Hite, 2016). I should develop attention to the learners' non-verbal cues and analyze their work to dig into their needs in time. Two, I will need to foster my language support skills to boost the learning process. I need to develop written and verbal language communication skills that will improve learner-teacher relationships and boost the language's academic usage to promote learning.

Currently, I am at the developing level of performance. I can discharge teaching practice with a good understanding of the learners’ academic needs and experiences. I can implement the learning criteria with sufficient fidelity. My teaching practice is intentional and is solidly implemented to improve the successful performance of the learners. However, it is essential to make certain adjustments to read leading criteria. I will need to learn to embrace criteria aspects with a high degree and provide learners with sufficient support, guidance, and learning resources to promote individual and group learning processes. I should also develop learning opportunities and respect personal practices while promoting collective growth and development. It will be essential to position myself as appropriate as possible to learn from other people and boost a continuous learning attitude (Fisher & Hite, 2016).
