Memories of School

As educators, we know that it's important to reflect on our own teaching styles and abilities and constantly hope to improve upon the way we teach.  It's equally important to put ourselves in our students' shoes and evaluate the way we are touching their lives and affecting the way they learn.  Another great thing to do is to take ourselves back to when we were students and think about our favorite things in each grade.  It might be a project we completed, a field trip we took, or a particular achievement we attained...  Whatever it happens to be, I think it's important to remember what we enjoyed when we're thinking about what our students might also enjoy today.

If you have a few minutes, I'd appreciate it if you would complete this survey.  It's a reflection broken down by grade level where you can share your favorite memories at each level.  If you can't remember something from a particular year, don't fret.  Any information will be greatly appreciated.  The survey is completely anonymous and I will share some of the responses on here so we can all take a look at what we enjoyed to perhaps spark some ideas about what we could recycle and use again in our classrooms.

Please feel free to pass the survey along to your friends, family, students, classmates, and fellow educators.
