In other words...
Reflective Practice is an in-depth conversation open about what we do, how it works, and why we do it…
so that our students are able to learn more effectively in our classrooms

A Foundation of Reflective Practice: Protocols
A set of guidelinesClear role definitionsCommon elements:
Presentation Clarifying and Probing Questions Artifacts Group discussion, excluding presenter Reflection/debrief

Practicing a Protocol: Talking about Teaching and Learning using the critical incident protocol
What is the best (or worst)
experience you ever had in
teaching?
![Page 10: "Like other professionals, teachers cannot become effective by following scripts. Instead, they need to create knowledge in use as they practice... knowledge](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032600/56649d965503460f94a7ece2/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Steps of Brief Critical Incident Protocol
Introduction – 5 minutes
Clarifying questions – 5 minutes
Discussion – 10 minutes
Presenter reaction – 5 minutes
De-brief the protocol – 5 minutes
![Page 11: "Like other professionals, teachers cannot become effective by following scripts. Instead, they need to create knowledge in use as they practice... knowledge](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032600/56649d965503460f94a7ece2/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
De-Briefing the Critical Incident Protocol What was the experience like for the
person presenting? For the “consulting” faculty? Even if you didn’t present, what did
you get out of it? What was hard about doing the
protocol? How is it different from an informal discussion?

Early Results from NH
“A switch in attitude to OUR students, not YOUR students”.
“We see a greater openness to vary educational practices as a result of feedback from reflective practice groups”.
“There is a greater willingness to use technology to adapt teaching to student’s needs”.

Research Findings
RP groups are more satisfying than other professional development activities because: It is continual It is focused on their own teaching and their
own student’s learning It takes place in a small group of supported
and trusted colleagues within their own school.
