The connections between reflective practice and professional development are the focus for this book, which offers guidance to support lasting change and provides strategies to enable self-initiated professional development.
The book includes:
- Traditional approaches to reflective practice

- Putting reflective practice in context
- How reflective practice can improve attainment for students and staff
- An Appendix of useful resources
With case studies from new and experienced teachers, as well as examples of reflective practice from trainee teachers and from students studying across a range of Education courses, this book equips the reader to develop their own reflective practice framework. Relevant also to practitioners working across the children's workforce, it encourages personal and professional development for the whole range of professionals working in education and care.
Just the look of this text makes it a readable addition to any teacher trainees' library. I will be adding to our new reading lists
An easy to read style that compliments the research papers my students wee asked to read as part of their 'reflection on reflections' process
useful background reading for Masters students in sport development/coaching
probably at too high a level for BA undergraduates. Really aimed at those in / planning to join the education profession
A very interesting read which will allow professionals to reflect upon their practice.
This book is accessible and ideal to have on the reading list for a PGCE to support the reflective element of practice. This will also support the teaching of sessions around reflective practice and keeping the 'journal'. It may be of use in schools to support NQT programmes.
It provides useful support for a reflective approach.
good and adopted
A thought-provoking text, which will help students make reflection an ongoing feature of their professional development.
This text is easy to navigate and digest. The questions for reflection at the end of sections within the book provide useful tools for the reflective practitioner. Not only is this book useful for students on the foundation degree in early years, but it could also be useful for learners operating at a higher level for those studying vocational level 3 childcare courses.
