Reflective Practice for Teachers
- Maura Sellars - The University of Newcastle, Australia
This Second Edition has been updated with:
- A new chapter on assessment
- Extended discussion of metacognition in the classroom
- Critical perspective on what we really know about brain-based learning
- Further coverage models of reflective practice
I really liked this book and have found it an interesting read professionally - I would have found a book like this very helpful at the start of my career.
This book is well written and laid out. It outlines the main concepts, knowledge and understanding of reflective practice and is a useful text for the undergraduate student teacher to help them improve their practice.
Koffemann talks about the "learning curve" for teachers being the first five years of practice and the difference between the teacher who learns and the one who does not is the ability to engage in reflective practice. This should be at the heart of all teacher practice. This new book from Sellars gives support, theory and practical ideas on reflection and reflective practice and will be useful for the beginning teachers, and to refresh the minds of the more experienced.
