Reflective Teaching Practices is more than just thinking about what happened
Thinking about a lesson you just taught does not automatically mean the next lesson will be better. Change is rarely that easy.

The main goal of this theme is to provide teachers and institutions with the necessary seeds to plant systemic change and the tools to care for them as they grow, adapt, and expand across the curriculum. Giving teachers the tools they need to become reflective teachers is more than explaining the benefits of reflection. Like students, teachers too need to be scaffolded into success.
We assume that everyone knows how to reflect on teaching and learning and what to do after they reflect in order to make positive changes. Research indicates this is not the case. Teacher need the KASA (Knowledge, Attitude, Skills, Awareness) to be effective reflective practitioners. TESOL Trainers can give teachers these skills |
TESOL Trainers offers powerful reflective tools that transform teaching & learning.
- Refine their understanding of the role reflection plays in teaching and in learning.
- Understand the Experiential Learning Cycle (ELC), the process and its components.
- Develop the ability to use the ELC as a vehicle for informing and transforming™ one`s practice.
- Build the awareness and the tools to notice what helps and hinders learning.
- Gain strategies and techniques for promoting reflection within students.
- Acquire strategies for observing one`s own teaching and peer`s teaching.
- Enhance one`s ability to give and receive feedback in a constructive manner.
Learner Centered The driving principle behind all workshops is that the leaner must be 100% engaged in the learning process. |
