Writing an Author Reflection

Each author, after posting the final version of either their Foundations article or Assessment article, should leave an "Author Reflection" on their article's discussion page.

An Author Reflection is a statement from the author reflecting on the content of their article. Some example author reflections include:

• The author's opinion on the topic based on the information reported and his/her own personal experience.
• A personal experience related to the topic such as an observation from a classroom or a memory of a personal school experience.
• Questions the author was left with after researching the topic.
• Deliberations the author had about what content to include in the article or which sources to use.
