Using the input of colleagues and other professionals is a vital component in the planning process that fosters student development. This semester I introduced two lessons to my colleagues and professor that I intended on using for my practicum classroom. They offered helpful criticism for the lessons that I presented to them. Then I was able to make changes to my lesson plans with the information that I received from their feedback before teaching the lessons to my practicum classroom. The changes that I implemented to the lesson plans made the lessons practical and relatable for students which boosted student understanding and desire to learn more.
