Join us to explore, unpack and dive into the practice of critical reflection. Exploring the legislative requirements, exceeding practices and real-world strategies, this presentation explores the practical implications and requirements around reflective practice. Contemporary and traditional theoretical frameworks are used as we workshop your own reflective practice, including how to enhance, embed and embrace this essential pedagogical tool. Simple, easily used strategies are explored and presented in a way that you can utilise to support your own knowledge. Through our discussions we will explore how together we can create a community of lively professional enquiry within your team as you reflect, debate and grow together. Critical reflection is an essential part of your journey because it is only when you truly know yourself that you can shine.

Who is this workshop for? 

This online program is for educators from all service types, including: Long day care educators, Family daycare providers, OSHC educators and Early Childhood Teachers as it will support them to reflect upon their own critical reflection practices as well as the practices within their teams and wider service shared practices.  

Digging deep into reflective practice can be transformational.

Together let us explore, break down and demystify the beast known as “Critical Reflection.” Our exploration together will enable you to feel confident and comfortable in your understanding of and implementation of reflective practice.  

Our goals are to reflect internally upon our own strengths, biases and tacit knowledge that impacts on our pedagogical decisions and take steps to proactively welcome and support all families and children in a culturally safe and inclusive manner. This program will enable educators become confident in their ability to create engaging and inclusive learning environments, recognising children’s needs through the lens of inclusion and individualised learning and to have an in-depth understanding of how to incorporate critical reflective strategies to support children’s inclusion. 

Real-world, achievable strategies to embed reflection in your daily practice will be workshopped and aims to assist in the creation a genuine culture of a “Thinking Curriculum” in which children and educators are co-constructors of thinking and learning. 

This program will support educators to build on their own understanding of true critically reflective practice and engage in an exploration of their knowledge, practice and own pedagogical styles. This will enable us all to grow, enhance and modify our practice in a way that benefits all children and learners in our care. 

Remember to make critical reflection part of your journey. For it is only when you truly know yourself that you can shine.
