Guided Reflection Questions Our life experiences contribute to the kind of person we become. Many of those experiences are influenced by the reward systems prevalent in our environments (school, work, family). Given your experience, education, and personality, do you consider yourself to be performance-oriented or learning-oriented? How might this self-realization impact your work with students? In what way does your value system, which has evolved over time and been influenced by your experience and education, impact your work with learners? Do you consider yourself to be creative? If so, in what way? How can you translate/transfer this creative spark to your students? Does it matter if your students are creative in ways that are different than you? Is fostering creativity in your students of interest to you? Why or why not? What ideas from the class do you find most compelling? What ideas do you want to learn more about? How will they impact your work in the future?
