  Daily Action I will try to use the zone of proximal development principle in my own lessons and observe it in the lessons I visit. Daily Reflection Lessons can be made more effective and fun with the use of instruments that utilize artificial intelligence. If I can make good use of generative artificial intelligence and integrate effective technologies, I believe that it has the potential to significantly increase student learning. When it comes to accomplishing this objective, it will be beneficial to make frequent use of artificial intelligence, to conduct fresh experiments by providing a variety of quotations, and to do double checks using reputable sources.

Daily Action I aim to learn how to implement Key Performance Indicators (KPI) for class observations that can help evaluate various aspects of teaching effectiveness. Daily Reflection I found the learning talking circle to be a remarkably engaging and insightful approach. It provided a platform where I felt encouraged to share thoughts and perspectives freely. The exchange of ideas within this setting not only broadened my understanding but also exposed me to diverse viewpoints. Regarding KPIs, I appreciated their role in structuring the observation process during the case study on class observation. They offered a clear framework to evaluate various teaching aspects systematically. Through their use, I gained a more nuanced understanding of what constitutes effective teaching practices. The case study about class observation proved invaluable, allowing me to apply theoretical knowledge to real classroom situations, deepening my grasp of observation techniques and their practical impli...

Daily Action My action plan for sharing the concept of teacher collective efficacy with my fellow administrators involves organizing a dedicated meeting or workshop. In this session, I will present the principles of collective efficacy, emphasizing its impact on student achievement and teacher performance. Daily Reflection:  Reflecting on collective efficacy and the importance of understanding why we act, I've come to appreciate the profound impact of collaborative belief among educators on student success. Collective efficacy is more than a concept; it's a catalyst for meaningful change in education. It hinges on our shared understanding of purpose and the reasons behind our educational strategies. Recognizing why we do what we do in teaching goes beyond following guidelines; it's about believing in the power of education to transform lives. This belief shapes our approach, making our teaching not only effective but also deeply relevant to our students. This reflection und...

Daily Action Implementing the Text and Talk strategy seamlessly into my classes, fosters critical thinking, active participation, and deeper understanding among my students. Daily Reflection I really enjoyed how the instructor introduced himself; sincere and encouraging... He used technology well and the tools we learned were important: such as Pollev and Worldcat. I loved the idea of blogging and sharing what I learned with others. I was happy that we were encouraged to ask questions during class. I was relieved that the expectations for the course were clear because I am very busy and I had an insight into my workload. I liked the text-for-talk strategy. Writing and speaking improve me cognitively. Discussion notes Learning Group Definition:   Learning is when we can come to a new solution based on the day's lesson. Each lesson should include an activity where students are able to use and show their knowledge of new materials and information. This grasp of new knowledge will lead...
