Why it’s essential to carve out time for reflection

The practice of going inward and reflecting is one of the five core elements in developing self-efficacy. This week, I’ll unpack what that means while sending you off with a reflection exercise to help you get the process started.

Reflection questions:

How do you want to move forward during your first month? Use the following prompts to help guide your reflection. Be as specific as possible.

• How will you show up for your staff? Offer ONE concrete action.

• Identify ONE practice you will put in place to promote instructional leadership.

• How do you plan on embodying your core values? List 2 to 3 steps you will take during your first four weeks on the job and why these are important to you.
