Becoming a Critically Reflective Teacher

Product Information

Gibb’s (1988) model steps through six stages for reflection. This logical structure for reflection gives much more explicit prompts to help you engage in descriptive reflection through to critical reflection by asking you to first make sense of the experience, and then identify the improvements to take forward.

Having someone who conveys such similar challenges as my own was quite helpful, both in terms of knowing that my concerns are common, but also by providing practical ways to reflect in different ways and take actions to develop my teaching even further.

You might find you prefer to get your thoughts down on paper. This process can be particularly useful if you’re new to reflective practice, new to teaching, or have taken on a new course or topic for the first time. There’s some misunderstanding about the task I’ve asked the students to undertake – (you’ve guessed it) why is that? What aspect needs to be corrected or explained further?

This makes for a book that is not only richly theory-based, but one that is also critically important for the educator's personal and professional development." — Adult Learning as an assessment activity – a summative report asking students to evaluate a case study or scenario and incorporate their own thoughts or experiences As a teacher, I benefit from the reflections of others on how to do it better. Along with Parker Palmer, Stephen Brookfield offers much helpful guidance in this book. Not only does identifying and scrutinizing our own assumptions help us to teach better by inviting students to see the powerful influence of assumptions, but it helps us in our own research and growth as teachers. As a long time student, many professors I've had are brilliant and know a lot of information, but few are pedagogically aware and most are unable to submit their own assumptions to critical analysis. Brookfield invites us to do so and guides us on how to do so.

Dorimé‐Williams, M. (2018). Developing Socially Just Practices and Policies in Assessment. New Directions for Institutional Research, 2018(177), 41-56. Covers topics such as classroom democratization, critical thinking and reflection, race and power, and more. Filled with illustrative examples from a wide variety of classroom settings, the volume explores in detail what critical reflection is and why it is so vital for becoming a skillful teacher. Brookfield shows how educators can reframe teaching by viewing it through four distinctive and complementary lenses: through their students' eyes, colleagues' perceptions, relevant theory and research, and personal experience.

Understand the impact of your actions in the situation and the available knowledge you and others had, and There’s no restriction on when reflection can happen, and it really doesn’t require any tools other than yourself and your own mind. Having said that, you might want use one of the many models that help you capture reflections. Here’s a couple you may find useful: Though the second edition of Becoming a Critically Reflective Teacher has been reformatted, with new chapters added, Brookfield points out that the thesis is the same: “critically reflective teaching happens when we identify and scrutinize the assumptions that shape our practice” (viii). Brookfield posits that we come to understand these assumptions by viewing our practice through four distinct lenses: students’ eyes, colleagues’ perceptions, theory, and personal experience. Brookfield is an educator and scholar whose work has informed the practice of teaching and contributed to the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL). He writes Becoming a Critically Reflective Teacher in a personal tone and uses his own narrative as a white, British man to illustrate his points throughout the text. Reading Becoming a Critically Reflective Teacher would help advisors develop the conceptual core competency (NACADA, 2017a). Though not without faults, if situated in the context of ‘advising as teaching’ this book would help advisors develop new advising approaches and strategies that promote inclusivity and contribute to the scholarship of advising. Create the conditions that facilitate respectful racial dialogue by building trust and effectively negotiating conflict When reflective assessment protocols are determined in advance, and teachers are required to show a suitable level of reflectivity to get reappointment, promotion, and tenure, the collaborative and collective dimension of reflection is entirely lost. Measuring reflection becomes a power play, a way for administrators to control employees by specifying the type of reflection that’s permissible or legitimate” (p. 76).
