Reflection can be a great thing for children and teachers. I like how Clark gave his students a blank map on the first day of school and another on the last day, to show them a reflection of their knowledge obtained throughout the school year. Providing students with certificates and such to acknowledge successes or accomplishments makes life changing moments for children. Awards go further than word, and they make powerful impacts on students’ self-esteem. It also gives them something to reflect back on latter in life. Weather it is reflecting and finding ways to improve or, like Mrs. Jones’s class, writing advice for the future students, reflection can be a powerful thing. I really like all the ways Clark addresses reflecting. Reflection leads to improvement, and improvement leads to perfection.
