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.

This author takes a broad approach to reflection across a number of professions including teaching. I think is could have been better linking values to professional practice via reflection.
A helpful guide for students to get to grips with this important aspect of early years practice
This book provides essential reading for learners developing their reflective skills
This book has been very valuable and is currently recommended to students on the PGDE Primary course. They have found the information contained within it to be highly informative, relevant and extremely useful in planning and undertaking aspects of their school placements and developing the necessary skill in managing their own professional development. The book will be on the recommended reading list for forthcoming session 2014.
Good book for additional reading
A thorough in depth book. Essential reading for those wishing to improve their teaching through reflection
Great addition to any collection on reflective practice. Insightful reading for those individuals who are embarking on a career change into teaching.
This text places reflective practice in its rightful place- as a fundamental part of the teaching, learning and assessment cycle. I have recommended this text for use with student teachers but it would be equally beneficial for current practitioners and NQTs.
Great text for trainee teachers to dip in and out of
A useful guide for experienced and those new to reflective practice.
