Hiroshima JALT:

Gaining Insight Into Your Classroom Through Reflective Practice

Date: Sunday, February 4th, 2018 Time: 3:00 PM - 5:00 PM

Speaker: Joan M. Kuroda

Description:
This presentation will introduce reflective practice, the reflective cycle and how making connections between past and present experiences can engage teachers in a meaning-making process that moves them towards an understanding of their teaching practices that informs their future experiences. This includes investigating, and sometimes discovering, underlying teaching beliefs. Focusing on description through gathering information from both the teacher's and students' perspectives can lead to insights about the classroom as teachers learn to view their teaching through the eyes of their students. Many skills, such as learning to be 'present', are acquired through the process of focusing on description and as teachers move through the reflective cycle. Improved teaching practices often follow, but the purpose of reflective practice is to engage in the process of making meaning from experiences.
