Reflective Practice and Professional Development



January 2013 | 232 pages | SAGE Publications Ltd
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

- how to enhance the effectiveness of 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 and examples of relective 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.

Peter Tarrant is a Teaching Fellow at the Moray House School of Education, University of Edinburgh.

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.
