Common Core requires us to provide deeper learning opportunities for students. Our fast-paced society seems to demand speed everywhere and in every thing we do. But how can we possibly expect our students to reach those deeper levels if we don't provide reflection time? This article describes the author's experience in a class discussion. He quotes noted Paolo Freire's idea stating that reflection is an essential part of learning and of becoming an agent of change in the world. Wonderful! This is an important article for all teachers at all academic levels to read. Have you experienced time to reflect yourself in teaching? Describe your experiences below in Comments.
