Reflective practice
The Reflective Practice workshop provides an opportunity for participants to reflect on their interactions with others and the effect of interactions with all people who influence children’s learning and development.
This helps practitioners to uncover insights to identify, plan and implement changes.
A reflective practitioner seeks opportunities for changing and improving practice. However, the concept of reflective practice is largely misunderstood and over simplified in practice. Whilst reflective practices are interested in examining a given situation and discovering alternative practice approaches, a critical part of the process (which is often overlooked) must be consideration of the values, principles and theories which help inform our everyday practice.
This workshop provides an opportunity for participants to reflect on their interactions with others and the effect of interactions with all people who influence children’s learning and development.
Workshop participants will explore the principles and theoretical underpinnings of reflective practice and be able to identify the characteristics of effective reflection on practice.
The workshop enables professionals to practice skills and strategies involved in the facilitation of reflective practices with colleagues and parents.
