Reflect on your own practice by surveying pupil opinion atthe end of the academic year. Implement their (sensible)suggestions #ukedchat

20:08:45 NikkiGilbeyDissertation action research worked wonders for myactive reflection #ukedchat

20:08:45 EmmaMcV

@CharHarAgain this can depend on the setting you are inbut yes feedback from pupils/students is important in the

right context #ukedchat20:08:49 aknill #ukedchat tweet


Not sure how honest we're all being in tonight's#ukedchat. I'd never give myself a rating at the end of aclass! How do we REALLY reflect!
