KOTESOL Reflective Practice Workshop
For our June Chapter Meeting, we would like to have an indepth, participant-focused session in which participants may look at their personal teaching practice, reflect and discuss with other teachers what they wish to focus on.
Reflective Practice is a methodology, inspired by the scholars Kolbs and Gibbs. Reflective practice is a way of studying your own experiences to improve the way you work. It is very useful for many fields and especially for education professionals who want to carry on learning throughout their lives. The act of reflection is a great way to increase confidence and become a more proactive and qualified professional.
Here are some excellent blog posts by KOTESOL members around the country to explore and further understand Reflective Practice, and its benefits for teaching:
