When we look into the water, depending on the angle we see different things in its reflection. In life and in work I believe it is important to step back and ensure you can see those different perspectives. It often helps you find the solutions you are looking for or see something you might have missed.
Reflective practice is something that most people find very valuable but also something that often gets forgot or overlooked because "we don't have time". What strategies do you use or habits do you include in your life to ensure you are making time to reflect, whether it is in your personal life or career life?
Hi Kyla, when my students and I perform a concert, I always make sure to build in different ways for the group to reflect on the experience. Sometimes, I just lead a large group discussion or they will break into smaller groups to discuss two great things and two areas for improvement. Lastly, before we perform a concert, I try and set up mini concerts in our peer's classrooms where we then lead an open discussion on what the class thought went well and see if they have any suggestions on what we could improve. Reflection is so crucial for growth!
