I think reflective practice is thinking and reflecting personal thinking and evaluating through your own experiences. This is an opportunity to learn from any mistakes, setting up activities, communicating with children, playing with children, etc. Reflective practice helps us grow with our knowledge, and lets us learn to be the best care's and educators we can for each children's future.

I believe that reflective practice is having the courage to be vulnerabe and look honestly at your practice and it's impacts on colleagues, whaanau and tamariki. Asking yourself "am I doing this with the best interests of the children at heart? Or is it just what is easy for me?" In doing this, Kaiako can grow and evolve in their practice, ultimately improving the overal experience for children within their care. Having the ability to notice patterns in personal teaching behaviour, times when one might become overwhlemed/frustrated, or when the teaching experience feels grounded and 'good' is so crucial to sustainable success as a Kaiako.

By reflecting on what you have did you are able to make the appropriate changes and reflect on what went well, what didn't go well and what could I do better next time. In early childhood education there is always going to be something we can do better and improve on and it is through reflective practice that we take the time to think about opportunities to improve and reflect on our goals as teachers/ learners.

Reflective practice to me is being able to look back and think about how you teach, while also trying to make sense of why you teach the way you teach and to learn and put what you’ve learnt to the test. In Early Childhood there is always time to reflect and to be able to move forward with what we have learnt. If we reflect then we can strive to be the best teachers we can possibly be.

Reflective Practice is becoming self-aware of your teaching and what you are doing when teaching children, it's also about improving your teaching skills so that you can become the best teacher for the students/children that you teach. Growing better and better over your time as a teacher.

Reflective practice is about taking a step back mentality to look back at your teaching and how you can improve your teaching and also to be anaylitical of your actions as a teacher.
Also the reflective thinking we do as teachers helps us to weigh up the pros and cons and consequences of how we teach.

Reflective practice gives you the ability to understand where or how you could have done things better.

To me, reflective practice is when a practitioner deliberately reflects on previous teaching and learning experiences and uses it to grow and develop personally and professionally. It allows teachers to make more informed adjustments to the way they teach and highlights areas which may need more work.

My understanding of what reflective practice is when a teacher takes the time to reflect on what they are doing and how they are teaching so then they can see if what they are doing is working well and effectively. When the teacher is reflecting on themselves they have the chance to change things if they aren't working.

My understanding of reflective practice is when kaiako are required to be aware of the way they teach and what influences this. By understanding or beginning to understand this, kaiako will be able to think about what they can do to make changes to the way they teach tamariki.

Reflective practice is to look closely and deliberately at your own teaching practice, it is to dig deeper and to think about your actions and the theory behind it.  Reflecting is to help you learn and have growth both professionally and personally.  Reflecting on your practice helps you to understand why you are doing certain things that work and to also look at what might not be working within your practice and correct these.

Reflective practice is being self aware of who we are as teachers and being able to assess ourselves to grow on our knowledge, beliefs, values and skills as a teacher. Without reflective practice there is no way knowing if we are being the best possible teachers we can be. Being able to self-assess of be assess is important to help us grow.

Reflective practice is when you are self aware about your own work ethic and the skills you yourself bring to the profession as the values and principals kaiako bring to the ece environment are easily highlighted and identified and are easily picked up on by tamariki, staff, whanau.

I believe reflective practice is when you look at yourself and analyse your practice to see if you could have achieved a different or better outcome. With this information you can then improve your teaching practice where and if needed. I believe that there is always room to reflect/improve/up-skill.

My current understanding of what is reflective practice is, is to be self-aware of one's skills and knowledge and allow them to seek and gain opportunities for professional development and growth. By understanding ourselves as teachers and our ethical actions/behaviour, we can reflect on our actions/behaviour in the now and adjust, learn and evolve these ethical actions/behaviour for the better.

To me reflective practice is when you choose to reflect within yourself regarding your own practice. This is a time where to can reflect on what you did well, not so well and create a strategy/plan to improve yourself within your practice. When you reflect this is giving yourself the opportunity to work on yourself for the better future. There are many different areas you can reflect on, but this is up to you whether you want to reflect on everything overall or just reflect on one certain area.

From reading the powerpoint my beginning of an understanding of reflective practice is it that its the reflection on one's self, and the different teachings they have used. I have also understood that it is reflecting on what you have done in your practice (ECE setting), and giving yourself the opportunity to look back on what you did, and how you may be able to improve that for the future in the similar circumstances. Reflective practice is something that can be used as a student as I know I reflect back on different situations to learn from them and know what I can do for next time.

To me, reflective practice is understanding that as teachers there is constant opportunity for reflection. As we move along in our careers, there are opportunities to reflect on our teaching self, our professionalism, our place in the setting and how we can make a difference and change. Reflective practice is being able to reflect on your actions in your practice, and help you to move forward into the future. Reflective practice helps us to make sense of why we do things the way we do, and if there are ways we can improve on this.
