Synchronous (Onsite) Reflective Teaching Practice Workshop (50 mins Onsite)
Integrating Collaboration into Reflective Teaching Practice
Reflective Teaching Practice is often understood to be an individual endeavor consisting of reflecting on and evaluating teaching moments, questioning personal beliefs about teaching and learning, and using student outcomes to inform professional development. This workshop will demonstrate the usefulness of collaboration between teachers, in the form of dialogic reflection and co-planning and reflection, in the Reflective Practice cycle. Participants will practice dialogic reflection and work through the process of co-planning and reflecting, then reflect on how both can be applied to their teaching practices and contexts. Participants can expect to leave the workshop with an understanding of the importance of collaboration in the reflective process and two straightforward methods of incorporating collaboration into their own Reflective Teaching Practice.
