2. Defining reflective teaching
Reflective teaching is thinking about your teaching through both
self-evaluation and evaluation by your colleagues.
Reflective teaching does not mean criticizing your own teaching.
It also means recognizing what is going well and thinking why it
is going well.

4. Questioning your aims and actions
You need to question your aims and actions because you need
to be very clear on what you want to achieve and how you
intend to achieve it. Your actions may encourage or discourage
learning.
As you plan for the next lesson, there is need to think about the
topic of the lesson, the content you intend to cover during the
lesson, the activities the pupils will be involved in and, your own
actions at each step of the lesson. As you go to the class, will
then be aware of what to say, how to say it and what other
materials will help you achieve the same aims.
5. "Like other professionals, teachers cannot become
effective by following scripts. Instead, they need to create
knowledge in use as they practice ... knowledge does not
exist apart from teacher and context."
