A1~ going past the surface thoughts, actions, interactions and delving deep into how Iβve treated myself, others, and what kinds of actions have helped serve others to make this a better place #EngageChat
A1. To me, self reflection is taking a step back and looking at a situation once Iβve had time to cool down and decompress. Defining the things I did well, and the things I can improve on and how those changes can come to be. #engagechat
A1: It's an important part of my life and routine. It means an opportunity for growth, to see things from another perspective, to inquire and be curious about myself, my practice, my Ss, our learning & teaching. Without it, I would not grow, change, evolve! #engagechat
A1: Self-reflection is when you look at yourself personally and professionally,in an honest way, with the intent to grow in areas that need improvement and celebrate strengths...yet always keep pushing those strengths. #EngageChat
#engagechat Personally reflection means liberation of self-doubt, making peace with my circumstances, seeing every angle and strategize for improvement and growth. It is for me a calling to a place where I feel safe to acknowledge & address my short-comings & embrace my strengths
A1: To me, it's when you can take an unbiased look at all of your qualities and critique them honestly (not criticize them). Afterward, you see what you're doing great and you shore up what you feel needs improving. #engagechat
#engagechat Self-reflection means having a strong sense of humility & openness to ponder over one's actions & motives along with the consequences that result from them.

A1 #EngageChat I can not imagine my life without writing in my journal- mediating and looking at my experiences head-on. I am a very self- reflective person. Training my mind to be positive & mindful as I do- has taken some time to integrate more fully from day to day
A1: Self-reflection is probably the most important aspect of teaching for me. Self-reflection is the time I take to think about what went well and what I can grow in. It can also be a time of self-encouragement, reminding myself why I do what I do! #engagechat
A1 An internal examination of habits, thoughts, and daily enagement with others - quiet time that allows us to think and make meaning of our experiences #engagechat

#engagechat self-reflection means dialing back when somebody points something out to you and you need to autocorrect. Critiques are healthy because it guides growth and maturity. There is so much opportunity for this and room for improvement
A2: You get to truly take a good look at yourself and ask yourself hard questions. Then you get to answer those and experience some honesty) Then change can occur #engagechat
A1 #engagechat hi, all, self-reflection means dialing back when somebody points something out to you and you need to autocorrect. Critiques are healthy because it guides growth and maturity. There is so much opportunity for this and room for improvement
A2: When you self-reflect, you are saying you are willing to grow and change. As opposed to not changing, and evolving into more. There is so much knowledge out there - so much we can do, as educators. Why not grow into more?? #engagechat

#EngageChat When we understand the importance of our actions and how they impact others it makes us a more patient, forgiving and understanding person. When we analyze our actions we become better listeners and mindful human beings. Combined more positive and growth oriented.
A2 If we are strategic with applying lessons learned during reflection, we can use this to adjust our interaction, social circles, and perspectives - self-reflection allows us to shift the view from seeing obstacles to seeing opportunities #engagechat
A2: Self-Reflection only works when you are open and honest with yourself. Sometimes people only look at the good. Itβs when we apply what we know needs changing #engagechat
A2 - My favorite quote as it relates to us: βknow who you are, and know who you are not!β Making positive, meaningful change is a hallmark of happy people. It takes pride and dedication to change. The results though are amazing. #engagechat
A2: I can get real deep with this one #EngageChat but I will keep it simple for now: You can't grow & be your best you without self-reflection; self-reflection and growth are necessary partners & so worth it
A2: Our learning is always in the reflection, so we need to self-reflect in order to apply lessons learned from our experiences to stretch and grow, to be better tomorrow than we were today. #engagechat
A2. @BillGates, @CoryBooker Steve Jobs., etc... all leaders who lead (led) with Humility and a desire to serve better. There is a reason they achieve success and keep going. They are always able to asses their ability to lead and how to be better the next day. #EngageChat
A2: You get to truly take a good look at yourself and ask yourself hard questions. Then you get to answer those and experience some honesty) Then change can occur #engagechat
A2 identifying where you are weak makes you better. Identifying your bias especially when it comes to race, gender, SES, physical ability, and sexuality is the first step to overcome it. Only through deep and honest reflection can you see why you reacted to something #engagechat
A2 Self-reflection helps keep yourself in perspective. On the one hand, you'll realize what you don't know. On the other, it's a good antidote for impostor syndrome -- yes, you are good enough and can lead others. #EngageChat
If you can't be honest with yourself, change with never occur. If change cannot occur, you will never grow. You will always be stuck in that loop #engagechat
A2: Self reflection is a wonderful opportunity to take stock, grow and learn. Without self reflection, we miss the insights and lessons that improve us. #engagechat
A2~when you are authentically & continuously self reflecting, seems to lead you to a place of acceptance of yourself and all that you bring to this world ...thus lending itself to better relationships & engagement w/others ~ win/win #EngageChat
A2: Our learning is always in the reflection, so we need to self-reflect in order to apply lessons learned from our experiences to stretch and grow, to be better tomorrow than we were today. #engagechat
A2 #EngageChat Reflection- a vision of ourselves-from a river maybe distorted and blurry or from a mirror clear and shiny- but if we pay attention we learn to accept our stretch marks & wrinkles and see our experiences as the beauty that is ourselves
A2: To be a better person implies a need to reflect & improve. Sometimes it can be a hard process too as it's about looking at yourself with an unbiased lens & moving forward from any hard truths with self-compassion, an intention to be better & acting on it. #engagechat
A2: when we reflect we learn more about ourselves and others. It allows us to make decisions based on reflection rather than impulse. Reflection helps us to think about the past and readjust the present in order to make the future better. #engagechat
A2: It can make you take a good, hard look at yourself, your actions & behaviors, your thought processes, etc. You can then take steps to improve on what you don't like. #engagechat
A2 Self-refection is all about learning & growth ... not for ourselves but in living more selflessly, in service to our students, our schools, our communities, & thereby to the world.
#engagechat
a2. Not sure better is always best - just know as I understand reflect - that I do my best - honestly and truly hard when there are Time and monetary constraints but that s work life and the world #recognizeitandembraceit#engagechat
Agree, Akilah. Honesty is the pre-requisite to growth in self-reflection. Being honest with ourselves allows us to be honest with others @OrganicLeaderVB#engagechat
Practicing self reflection makes me a better person because it helps me to save energy and sane! It would be crazy just keep pushing without stop thinking on what I do, what works and what doesn't. I think this is what happens to some teachers. #EngageChat
Hi, Shawna, from MI A1 Depends on the day or the moment-where I'm at mentally or emotionally. I do a lot of replays in my head for how I should have handled something when something was off, but I reg. enjoy catching myself within moments w/Ss, knowing they're w/me.#engagechat
#engagechat A2. I learned that for me, self-reflection can be a process..Feedback is key coming from someone I trust. I react, I think and I learn. Then, I improve.
A2:if we as educators donβt reflect we are doomed to make the same mistakes. I became a better teacher when I sought out more experienced teachers and made a REAL effort to put my pride aside and learn. #engagechat
A2: When you step back & look at the big picture it opens the doors of possibilities for you to grow and improve. It can also increase confidence, resilience, & the ability to take risks. #EngageChat
A1: Self-reflection is important -Outwardly, What was great & what could be better about learning with students...Inwardly, who are you as a person & is that what the world sees?...if not-how can you best align the inward, authentic self & make it visible. #engagechat
#engagechat A2 Self reflection helps me to remain in touch with my why. I can filter out distractions that could make me lose sight of my goals. It stops me from majoring in the minors.
#EngageChat When we understand the importance of our actions and how they impact others it makes us a more patient, forgiving and understanding person. When we analyze our actions we become better listeners and mindful human beings. Combined more positive and growth oriented.
A2: Self-reflection makes me better because I take the time to admit that this is a learning process. Change happens in small steps, and self-reflection helps me let go of things that are no working, and try things that work better for my students and for me. #engagechat
A2: When you step back & look at the big picture it opens the doors of possibilities for you to grow and improve. It can also increase confidence, resilience, & the ability to take risks. #EngageChat
A2: When I make time to intentionally self reflect I can see others perspectives, think about possible outcomes, think critically and creatively to problem solve better! I have to let things βsink inβ!#EngageChat
what does this mean? Better is better than you were. Time and money aren't constraints to self reflection. Value is the only roadblock. If you value something you will make time for it. #engagechat
a2. Not sure better is always best - just know as I understand reflect - that I do my best - honestly and truly hard when there are Time and monetary constraints but that s work life and the world #recognizeitandembraceit#engagechat
Reflection occurs whether we seek it or not. But if we are genuine and honest with ourselves- this is what spawns growth and sparks curiosity and sets us on a path of discovery nd exploration- it teaches us to believe in ourselves #EngageChat

#engagechat SR gives us an opportunity to untangle experiences & pause amid the chaos... Through this ongoing process, we experience multiple interpretations & mindsets that inevitably lead to learning & personal growth.
A2b: I want to add this #EngageChat-Self Reflection in itself is a courageous act b/c it requires you to do it alone: it's scary to be alone with your thoughts...it's a #mindful practice that reaps dividends
A2: look at areas of strength and opportunities for growth to build upon each. Try to do this professionally and personally to stimulate self growth and model the benefits of self reflection #engagechat
A2: #selfreflection can help make me a better person b/c I give myself that time & space to revisit my decisions & actions. As has been said, "hindsight is 20-20", #selfreflection allows me the chance to look revisit these decisions & actions w/ fresh eyes.
#engagechat
As a Supt, I regularly reflected on the following: Did I practice my values today? Did I do more good than harm today? Did I treat people w/ respect? Was my community better because I was in it? Was I better because I was in my community? #engagechat

A2 #engagechat it drives you to succeed. If you do not have a skill or set of knowledge required for work you try your best to master that data so you can do your best and fulfill your potential. Those who are satisfied with status quo do not realize their potential
Yes!! I completely agree! Sometimes I can be so focused on getting everything right the first time, but self-reflection gives permission to think back, learn from it, and try again! #engagechat
A2: Much like adjusting the strings on a guitar, reflection can help you uncover the pitches you need to adjust in order to advance sustainable and harmonious change in schools. #engagechat#sandmansensations#oklaed
Yes Chrys. I agree 100 percent. I truly believe this is why in our connected world people don't put down the phones-they don't want to face the mirror and deal with honesty. The beauty is the moment they do-they are on the road to growth #EngageChat

Awww...I love that pic Cristina and it's absolutely true. We at #VBHasJoy & #Champforkids know that #selfcare is our armor to be all that our kids need us to be for them daily. #EngageChat
A2There's always room for improvement-as a teacher/parent/friend/spouse. To be a better me than yesterday, last week, last year. To know my strengths & use them to lift others up. To recognize my weaknesses & move forward anyway because there's a lot of life to live. #engagechat
A2: Self-reflection looks back to look forward, self-awareness is present time. I think you need both to have balance and strength, to be your best self. #engagechat
A2: It definitly helps me to understand myself in a deeper level, to respond to myself instead of reacting. Definitely, when I practice self-reflection, I give a step back and I can see the whole forest! #EngageChat
A3 Self-reflection is an internal process, an examination. Self-awareness is knowing who you are at your core - being sure in your identity and remaining steadfast in your convictions #engagechat
A2: Self-reflection looks back to look forward, self-awareness is present time. I think you need both to have balance and strength, to be your best self. #engagechat
A3 - Awareness is knowing who we are. Reflection is understanding how we can make ourselves, classrooms, schools and the world a better place. Itβs like βIβll try to do better.β Compare that will βI will take actions to make a difference.β #engagechat
A3. Self awareness is a concious knowledge of your own strengths and weaknesses. You should know what you rock and what gets you in trouble. #engagechat
A2 #engagechat it allows you to pause so that if a similar situation occurs and adverse outcome happened previously, you take measures to educate yourself on what went wrong, approach the problem more systematically, professionally with a more effective and informed manner
A3 - As an HPE teacher, I can relate it to exercise. If Iβm out of shape, Iβm aware of that. If I can self reflect and see what itβs doing to me, then change will happen. #engagechat
#EngageChat Self-awareness is having the brush in your hand and knowing the pallet of paint- each color and how it will come to life on the canvas- Self-reflection being alright with trying broad or thin strokes with the brush and being alright with the result-or tossing it out
A3. Self reflection is going back and retrospectively evaluating a situation. Self-awareness is knowing where you are and what your doing in real-time. #engagechat
I wonder how many of you have been sitting in a meeting where tons of info is being thrown at you &you are asked for your opinion or input. Personally I have to reflect on ideas before making a decision. I donβt understand how others can #EngageChat just she so quickly! ππ»
A3: Self reflection has you thinking about something and self awareness is when you know something. You must be self aware before you can self reflect. #engagechat
A3: self-reflection leads to greater self-awareness. self-reflection: the meditation of ones' character, beliefs but self-awareness is the knowledge of my own passions and weaknesses. #EngageChat
A3: you can reflect and not be self aware, in order for reflection to be useful you have to be able to recognize your actions and their impact. #EngageChat
A3: Self-awareness is more of a proactive, day-to-day, conscious effort vs self-reflection can occur after a process or situation. Both are essential. #EngageChat
#engagechat A3. I think they inter-connect..
Self-awareness...I need to "improve/change" something...
Self-reflection..Why and How do I do it?
Self-awareness..Am I making those changes now? Bettering myself?
A3: Self-reflection is usually something I do on my own, while self-awareness happens before, during, and after I am with my kiddos. Self-awareness can help you be proactive, handle a difficult situation, or know when to encourage and challenge in the right moment. #engagechat
A3 #EngageChat Mindfulness is embedded in both self- awareness & reflection- for both you need a respond not react mentality- seeing all the options and being present in the moment-listening to your insight & instincts and making peace with the outcomes of your choices

#engagechat what a great answer, I think the higher you are in your position at work the more you need to have self-awareness and self-correction. Leaders in their fields such are held to an even higher standard of self-reflection and improvement that comes with that
A3: self-reflection leads to greater self-awareness. self-reflection: the meditation of ones' character, beliefs but self-awareness is the knowledge of my own passions and weaknesses. #EngageChat
This is a tough topic! I tend to believe that reflection is so key for teaching and leading. When a lesson is over, do we take a moment and think about the faces of our students? In a meeting with colleagues, do we see how they react to whatβs being said? That is key #engagechat
A2: Self-reflection allows time to explore different pathways/options/alternatives. In doing that, setting thoughtful goals becomes evident and provides an action pathway to achieving them. #engagechat
A3 #EngageChat Mindfulness is embedded in both self- awareness & reflection- for both you need a respond not react mentality- seeing all the options and being present in the moment-listening to your insight & instincts and making peace with the outcomes of your choices

A3~
Awareness~ knowing who you are, what you are doing and the impact to yourself/others/situation
Reflection ~ the whys, how can I do better, was the impact what I intended it to be ? Can I sleep at night knowing I did my very best and treated others fairly ? #engagechat
A3 #engagechat the former is musing over your doings the latter is being knowledgeable about how your interactions and concepts affect others around you. This is important for any space you occupy and is a lifelong valuable skill to have
A3: I can engage in self-reflection without ever really attaining self-awareness...depends on my level/depth of commitment to self-reflection. #EngageChat
I agree. The best reflection of my school year- video reflection for my PD. Watching students on video and listening to myself and seeing myself in action- scary I tell you BUT the most meaningful reflection ever! #EngageChat
A:1 To me self reflection is a nocturnal activity before going to sleep I take a moment and evaluate what did I do to make my world a better place. If the day did not go the way I would have liked, was it lack of effort or trial & error. Tomorrow is my time to shine- #engagechat
#EngageChat joining in late. Joanna here with @ICECollaborate@EdTechMI once you become self aware you can grow with self reflection! Through reflection you learn how to make changes that lead to growth.

The path to perfection if full of bumpy spots. Those spots are where the real learning occurs. Most of us never reach perfection but we learn so much along the way. #engagechat
A3: Self awareness comes first. Itβs the spark that allows the fire of refinement to begin. Self Reflection is the process of Now What? What must I do, looking internally, to be better and do better. #engagechat
A3: Thinking of self-reflection I think of a moment/event. Itβs a deliberate action 1 engages in to grow & become better. Self-awareness is bigger. Itβs about the whole self, more personal, looking at habits, feelings & knowing who you are in the moment & beyond. #engagechat
