Reassurance

11 weeks into Term 1 I can honestly say I have had a lot of times where I haven't felt like I have achieved much with my class so it was reassuring to hear today from another teacher that my class has come a long way.

We have worked hard on social skills and the way that we should behave at school. And while I didn't think that there had been much improvement after hearing it from someone else it made it easier for me to step back and reflect on how much has changed.

As a result I am going to work on my own reflection practices and focus more on the little achievements that we have made as a class rather than waiting for perfection. I feel that looking at it this way will make me more positive and confident in what I am doing and that will then impact on the overall environment of the classroom.
