Teaching characterized and shaped by an ongoing personal and collective conversation aimed at improving teaching and learning. Reflective practice involves teachers talking specifically about what they do and why they do it, citing evidence, research or theory. The teachers talk about where the “why” came from (something they read, learned at a conference/workshop, heard from another teacher, learned during their training, learned in the CFG meeting, etc.). Reflection is ongoing, not a one-time revelation that “sets” a teacher’s pedagogy for life. Critical Friends Group communities act as an ongoing, reliable structure for all members to maintain and constantly challenge their own reflective practices.
