About the webinar
However, for reflection to become part of teachers’ practice, it is important that teacher trainers and educators a) are themselves reflective practitioners and b) make reflection an ongoing part of their courses and their sessions. Reflecting on input and considering how new ideas and techniques can be incorporated into practice are an essential part of the way that teachers learn.
This session briefly discusses the importance of reflection in training sessions and courses, reviews a simple reflection model for training and offers participants a number of reflection activities that they can use in their training sessions and courses. There will also be an opportunity for reflection.
