Jack's book

by Barry Gifford

Reflective practice is widely recognized as a tool for professional learning and development, and yet it can still remain elusive to beginning teachers. This book, a rich mix of practical advice and application of theoretical lenses explains and exemplifies how reflection on and in practice can have a positive impact on classroom performance. The very real problems faced by beginning teachers are brought to life through the use of illuminatory case studies drawn from the reflective journals of beginning teachers in the primary, secondary and post-compulsory phases.
