TASK A Dual Stance Reflective practice involves taking ‘a duel stance, being on the one hand, the actor in the drama and on the other hand, the critic who sits in the audience watching and analysing the entire performance. ’ (Osterman and Kottkamp, 2004: 23)

Brookfield’s 4 Lenses ❖ Brookfield (1995) Suggests that there are four lenses through which we can reflect on practice critically ❖ Our own autobiographies and experiences as learners ❖ The eyes of our clients ❖ The experience of our colleagues ❖ Theoretical literature

From which lenses could we see our performance or progress?

Linking Theory to Practice ❖ ‘Reflective practice is very important for a number of reasons.
