Abstract
This chapter shows how reflection can make a powerful contribution to teacher development. Reflection is shown as having multiple dimensions, many of which have been captured previously in historic notions of reflection in teaching. The different stages of the process of reflection within some of the earlier models are considered and the way in which these precedents are integrated in current notions about reflection is demonstrated. The concept of reflective practice is presented, in which action is understood to be an integral part of the reflective cycle. The execution of reflection is described, both in terms of the personal attributes required of a mentor seeking to engender reflective practice and in terms of practical strategies that can be used to promote reflective practice. Finally, suggestions are offered on ways to evaluate the impact of reflection on professional development.
