Reflect to Evolve: The Power of Personal Reflection

Writing letters of recommendation serves as a significant tool for reflection on teaching practices and personal growth. It encourages educators to revisit past interactions with students, recall the lessons taught, and evaluate their own evolving teaching methodologies. This process highlights changes in feedback and assignment choices over time, revealing the inherent value of introspection in the teaching profession. While technology offers convenience through automation, relying heavily on it may diminish meaningful human experiences and reflections that contribute to personal and professional development.
