Reflection and feed forward are essential practices in Boaz Public School to promote continuous improvement , enhance learning outcomes, and foster a growth mindset among students, teachers, and administrators
Reflection is the process of looking back on past experiences, actions, and outcomes to identify strengths, challenges, and areas for improvement. Tools like reflective journals and surveys are employed after every event, activity, incident. Among students, it encourages self-awareness and critical thinking, helps identify learning gaps and successful strategies, and promotes ownership of learning through journals, self-assessments, or group discussions. For teachers it aids in evaluating the effectiveness of teaching methods and lesson plans, provides insights into student engagement and understanding, and encourages professional growth through peer observations and feedback. It benefits administrators as it supports evaluation of school-wide initiatives, policies, and programmes, identifies areas for resource optimization and staff support, strengthens strategic planning through informed decision-making.
The information collected through Reflection is fed to the appropriate department/team/student/parent/staff. Feed forward is the process of providing constructive suggestions and actionable insights for future actions to ensure better outcomes and continuous improvement. At Boaz feed forward activities focus on behaviours or strategies rather than personal attributes. Realistic, measurable goals are based on feed forward insights. By integrating reflection and feed forward into daily practices, Boaz Public School creates an environment that nurtures development, innovation, and success at all levels.
