Reflecting in Communities of Practice

Reflective teaching--a continuous cycle of observing, documenting, and planning-- supports children's learning and strengthens classroom practices. This professional development workbook helps early childhood educators cultivate their creative, critical, and reflecting thinking skills through ten study sessions. Each session includes guided activities that focus on topics related to understanding the value and key elements of reflective teaching. Deb Curtis, Debbie Lebo, Wendy C.M.
