  1. Reflection is at the Heart of Practice By Simon Hole and Grace Hall McEntee

  2. Guided Reflection Protocol Critical Incidents Protocol Reflection can benefit our teaching practice. There are two recommended protocols to utilize this technique.

  3. Steps for Guided Reflection Protocol First, collect possible episodes to ponder…ideally, they should be ordinary events.

  4. Step One: What Happened? Describe the incident as objectively as possible. Use a narrative format.

  5. Step Two: Why Did it Happen? Search the context of the situation to figure out motivations behind the characters involved in the incident. Ask: does this event represent a larger category of events? *Note: most reflection stops here. It is important to look for greater meaning after identifying the “why”.

  6. Step Three: What Might it Mean? Find the meaning within the mundane. Dewey: a teacher’s job is to be aware of the “possibilities inherent in ordinary experience.” All events can carry significance, despite their size or impact.

  7. Step Four: What are the Implications for my Practice? Use newfound meaning to rethink and actively change classroom practices. Ordinary events, with greater reflection, can lead teachers to more successful classroom practices.

  8. Steps for Critical Incidents Protocol • Meant for use with colleagues • Goal is same=get to the heart of practice • Colleagues write up incidents to discuss at specified meetings

  9. Step One: What happened? A presenter reads the written account out loud and sets it within the context of professional goals. Other colleagues ask clarifying questions.

  10. Repeat Process: • Step 2: Why did it happen? • Step 3: What might it mean? • Step 4: What are the implications for our practice? With colleagues. To close, debrief the process and decide how effective it was in addressing the problems raised.
