Chapter 11 Reflection

Good projects don’t just end abruptly and come to a dead end. Instead, they open new doors and create connections that you can build into future project designs. Like all good journeys, your project should leave you with vivid memories you have collected along the way and plenty of ideas for helping shape your next learning adventure. Thinking about the concrete plans that helped make your project successful is extremely important and will help in the long run. It helps to think back on your project and recall the most engaging learning activities, especially ones that seemed to really grab the student’s attention. The project design process may have given you an incentive to begin collaborating with colleagues on future projects too. Just because one came to an end doesn’t mean the connection with other teachers needs to too!
