"We do not learn from experience, we learn from reflecting on experience."
- John Dewey
“Mirrors should think longer before they reflect.”
― Jean Cocteau
Reflection
My reflective journey has enriched my teaching, allowing me to navigate the complexities of classroom dynamics, time restrictions, and rigid educational standards. Regularly engaging in reflective practice bridges the gap between my creative and teaching selves. As John Dewey stated, true learning comes from reflecting on experiences, not just having them. My approach to reflection transforms each lesson into an opportunity for growth and adaptation, ensuring that my teaching remains dynamic and responsive. This page will illustrate the reflective methods that invigorate my educational practices.
