- A teacher’s ability to reflect upon his or her practice to improve student learning is a key skill that is learned over time and not easily mastered. How would (or do) you include the principles or methods of Critical Reflection into your practice or studies? Relate an incident in which you have used a systematic reflection process and what you learned from it. This incident could be an occurrence in a teaching and learning environment or another area (with a spouse or sibling, at a place of employment, etc.).
