Use this simple spreadsheet for a smarter way to strengthen your teaching practice

When you begin your chemistry teaching career, you are asked often to reflect on your lessons: what went well, what didn’t, why, what you might change next time. But as you become more experienced and your timetable gets even fuller, taking the time to reflect can become less of a priority. In this article, discover a simple yet effective way to use a spreadsheet to track your reflections on your teaching. By dedicating a few minutes to setting it up and filling it in every week, you’ll have a readily-available tool to look back on your lessons, learn from your experience and continue to develop your teaching skills.
