Four years ago, I started posting here to record the journey from practicum teacher to teacher. Stats on the blog have shown that reflective posts are the least interesting and posts that relate to improvement in the classroom are the most read.
I have often wondered why. It could just be that my reflective posts are boring. Personally, I find that they are the most important because they make me consider my own teaching practices and drive me towards the successful classroom interventions.
It could be that we don't want to know what we do badly and we do want quick fix band aids.
Often we don't want to be reflective or introspective - we don't have time, lack the will, we're scared of the results and are unwilling to make the effort. Given all I have learned here, having worked with the blog for a reasonably long time, it's fairly easy to say I think reflective practices are worth the effort.
