Reflective Practice in Education and Training
Achieving QTLS Series
Many trainees and new teachers need support in reflective practice. Written for all those working towards QTLS, this text gives practical guidance on how to become a reflective practitioner and examines how this relates directly to teaching in the FE and skills sector, and how reflection can benefit teaching. This second edition includes new chapters on 'reflective teaching and learning' and 'reflection-re-action', a new Theory Focus feature.

Good book and very handy for the reflective aspect of the PGCE. I would recommend it for those that struggle with the reflection as it explains it well.
Excellent support material particularly useful for M level students.
Easy to read yet informative and interesting. Great for trainee teachers and also good for experienced ones to have a refresher.
very useful book to student teachers
A useful text to get staff to realise the importance of reflection for themselves as well as getting their students to reflect on their studies and learning journeys.
Good structure
Links to units well
Clear and to the point
An excellent reference book for anyone promoting reflective practice as an integral basis for effective working. Provides a clear overview of theories and analytical tools that are useful for making sense of professional practice.
I really enjoyed reading this new edition, it gives a great introduction to the topic in a language new teachers can understand. The chapters flowed logically and I liked the tables and diagrams which brought theories to life. There are good links to theorists and the tasks are useful for new teachers to put theory into practice. The additional chapter certainly gives something to think about regarding situated reflective practice. I will recommend this book to all my learners.
