Reflective teaching involves creating a culture of instructional improvement among staff, and providing consistent support for collaboration and reflective conversations around practice. The idea is to actively promote a cycle of goal setting, teaching with those goals in mind, collecting data from/about students, and reflecting on the outcomes. Many program leaders engage their staff in informal debriefs about “how the teaching went”, but don’t necessarily provide a systematic approach or enough time for making adjustments to specific teaching approaches and activities. These tools are intended to help program leaders create an environment that is conducive to growth, and supports instructors to take risks and stretch their abilities.
