As I observe classrooms, I notice that we seldom see the whole picture, we have to many other roles. Although things may look good at a glance, something may be wrong on the inside. Ask yourself, How often do I stop to reflect on why a child has chosen an activity or how he or she came to an end product? I found in my final years of teaching, that videotaping classroom activity game me enormous insight into how children responded to materials and what events preceded certain behavior.
