Reflecting On Our School Year: Glows and Grows (PD Package)

Description

This professional development package includes Done-for-You Slides & Resources described below:

1.) Reflection on our School Year through Glows & Grows PD slide deck

6 PowerPoint slides ready for use with speaker notes

2.) Glows & Grows Reflection Template (Individual Use)

This quick reflection template is a simple way for teachers to look back on their year—what went well (glows), and what they’d like to improve (grows). Teachers will jot down a few things they’re proud of, along with one or two areas that didn’t go as smoothly. Then, to wrap it up, they’ll turn one of those grows into a goal for next year. It’s an easy and meaningful way to pause, reset, and think ahead.

3.) Reflection Template (Team/School-Wide Use)

The Reflection Template is meant for teams to reflect together. Staff can collaborate and share “Glows” and “Grows” across different key areas of school life. It’s an easy, visual way to spark conversation, spot patterns, and start thinking about next steps for the school year ahead.

4.) SMART Goals Framework for Educators

Turn your “Grows” into clear, doable goals for next year using the SMART Goals framework—Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-bound. You’ll walk through a few simple prompts to shape your goal, reflect on why it matters, and set a timeline. There’s even a sentence frame to help you write it out clearly, plus a few bonus questions to help you stay on track and celebrate progress. Super practical for turning reflection into action!
