Professional development for
Teacher Educators
Keeping up to date with policy
‘Reflection is not an ‘add-on’
piece to your learning process,
portfolio, or teaching practice.
It is integral to the complex
process of becoming an
educator.’

Models for reflection
ACTIVITY: in groups of 3 at your table (5mins)
Discuss which models you use or recommend
for individual development.
Rate these on a scale of 1 – 10
(10 being brilliant!)
Some models
• IfL Reflect (mandatory)
• Brookfield, 1995 (Four lenses – self, students,
colleagues, theory)
• Burton, 2000 (What? So what? Now what?)
• Peters, 1991 (Describe, Analyse, Theorise, Act)
• Schon, 1983 (Reflection-on-action; Reflection-inaction)
• Whitmore, 2003 (Goals, Reality, Opportunities,
Threats)

In the varied topography of
professional practice, there is high,
hard ground where practitioners can
make effective use of research-based
theory and technique, and there is
swampy lowland where situations are
confusing ‘messes’ incapable of
technical solution.
