5-Min Pro · Reflective Teaching Journals: A Practical Start

The idea — Reflective journals become abandoned documents because people start too ambitiously. Three paragraphs per lesson is not sustainable. One question per week is.

In practice — Pick one question and return to it every week for a month: ‘When did learners talk most today, and why?’ The pattern that emerges across four weeks is more useful than four separate essays.

One-minute task — Write your question for this week at the top of a blank page. Set a 5-minute timer. Write without stopping. Stop when it rings.
