As this module points out, we should always seek improvement. When I first began teaching, I remember evaluating the "good" and the "bad" in my previous instructors (the "pros" and "cons"). I would have to say that the instructors who provided the most structure and organization, the ones who were prepared adequately for class, were the most successful. I have never tried a teaching journal per se, but I do make marks within my notes and outlines concerning what works and what doesn't. I honestly had never thought about using the colored paper.
