Reflection on Learning

Reflection on Learning
Now that you have broadened your knowledge of student engagement, take time to reflect on how your new learning can help you, your school, and your students. Your reflection will:
indicate what you have learned in this course and its assignments.
reflect on its significance in your professional life.
articulate how you will apply this knowledge in the future.
Your reflection should indicate mastery of course material and thoughtful application of the topics to your professional situation. Several questions are included as suggestions to guide your reflection, but feel free to pursue each topic in directions that are most meaningful to you.
Create a 3- to 5-page paper (not including the title and references pages) in a Word document for your response.
Use APA format for the title page, references page, and in-text citations. Use the topics as subheadings in your paper.
