Choosing The Right Path: My Personal Evolution As A Teacher Developing And Maintaining Reflective Practice, Nancy Leland Rivera
MA TESOL Collection
After using self-reflection to learn more about herself as a learner and then as an educator during her first summer of study in the SIT Master of Arts in Teaching program, Nancy Rivera used this knowledge to further look at her teaching.
