Example of a three-question reflection template used in first-year instruction Fall 2011 by librarians at the Claremont Colleges Library.

1. Librarian Three-Question Reflection CCL ID1 Research Instruction – Fall 2011
You’ve recently finished a workshop or in-class teaching interaction with a Pomona ID1 group. Now,
take a minute or two to reflect on the following three questions – the idea is to think about how the
interaction went, what you contributed to it as an instructor, and how you might improve your practice in
the future.
When you’re done, please print to PDF or scan this form and upload it to your Sakai teaching portfolio.

teaching performance to student attitudes/engagement to faculty buy-in.
2) What was negative about the session? As in, what went wrong? Did you seize up, trip on a cord,
or drone on? Did students seem bored or unresponsive?
3) Describe one thing you’d like to improve upon in subsequent sessions. This could be an
activity to a teaching skill to the way you approach or explain a particular concept.
