Teaching Today · Principles of Practice: Critical Reflection

Hear from our K-12 coaching leaders

Dr. Cristina Compton
Critical reflection is about being able to move forward, using the process of reflection to develop next steps. We often begin with a conversation that focuses on specific experiences, and then expand to identify what worked and didn't work in those situations. This is our entry point to identifying possible future actions. 



​

Dr. Roberta Lenger Kang
The distinction between reflection and critical reflection is that it's not just a reproduction of what happened, but rather a questioning of what happened in order to gain new insights.
