How to encourage reflective teaching in your school

Reflections develop insights and greater understandings by connecting what is thought to be an isolated experience with greater knowledge and other experiences the person has. Teacher reflections can help a teacher understand student behavior if there is a correlated pattern, and the teacher can realize how to adjust their practices so that the pattern can change. Modelling reflection allows students to also learn how to reflect, if the teacher explains why changes are occurring in the classroom, this can help create a reflective classroom where students are encouraged to reflect and self-regulate their behavior and academic practices based on their reflections.

Reflecting allows one to look backwards on practice and should not be used to just repeat what lessons were learned, reflections should focus on how one will adjust their beliefs or practices based on what has been learned.
