Choosing The Right Path: My Personal Evolution As A Teacher Developing And Maintaining Reflective Practice, Nancy Leland Rivera Jan 2007

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. She also used the same reflective process to examine her work during her IYTP (Interim Year Teaching Practicum) experience. In an effort to maintain this reflective practice after finishing her course work, the author examines the meaning of reflective practice, how she came to be a reflective practitioner, and methods she has used to maintain it.
