Your Reflection Focus
Example: Teaching a Lesson on AI-Generated Text
A 10th grade English teacher uses ChatGPT output as a mentor text. Students react with confusion and skepticism.
Level 1 — Remember
Reflection: Students questioned whether the text was "real." Contact Zone: Human authorship vs. machine generation created tension.
Level 3 — Apply
Identity: The teacher realized her own discomfort with AI tools was visible to students. Justice: Whose voices are amplified or erased by AI training data?
Level 5 — Evaluate
Reflection: The lesson generated productive confusion but lacked closure. Contact Zone: Students from different backgrounds had vastly different AI exposure.
Level 7 — Inspire
Justice: How can this lesson model critical AI literacy for other teachers? Identity: How can I share my learning-in-public with colleagues?
