How do I engage in reflective practice?
Throughout the courses, you will engage with Reflection questions. These help you reflect on your understandings and practice and to identify improvements you can make.
To make the most of the learning opportunities in these courses, think carefully about the reflection questions and take time to respond thoughtfully.
You can use the reflection questions as a framework to guide discussion and the professional learning of your team, small groups within your team, or individual educators.
You or your team may choose to work slowly through the course and address each of the section topics over two or more weeks, while you reflect deeply on your practice and take time to improve your practice and pedagogy.
