Reflective teaching means looking at what you do in the classroom, thinking about why you do it, and thinking about if it works - a process of self-observation and self-evaluation.
By collecting information about what goes on in our classroom, and by analysing and evaluating this information, we identify and explore our own practices and underlying beliefs. This may then lead to changes and improvements in our teaching.
Reflective teaching is therefore a means of professional development which begins in our classroom.
Donald Schon (1983, 1987) provides a framework that not only addresses these cognitive and organizational barriers, but distinctly illuminates the practice of reflectivity as well. Models for reflective practice, based on Schon's (1983, 1987) principles, describe processes that translate theory to action for educators.
