—John Dewey,American philosopher

“Teachers should take time to reflect on their observations,

knowledge, and experience so that they can effectively nurture

each child's learning.”

What is Reflective Planning? Reflective planning means to plan looking at

what you do in the classroom, thinking about why you do it, and thinking about if it works - a process of self-observation and self-evaluation.
