REFLECTiVENESS

Teachers and students find it hard to reflect because they don't want to be wrong, they want to be right. People think that reflection has a right or wrong answer, when really it doesn't. Also, sometime reflections aren't needed, and then some reflections take longer than others so most people don't like to do them.

Some people consider reflection to be the heart of the teaching process because people need to reflect on how teachers are doing. If they are teaching poorly do we really want our kids to be taught by these teachers? No, so we need to do reflections on these teachers so that it doesn't happen.

Sometimes reflectiveness can be a positive thing, but at the same time it can be a negative thing. We need reflection so that we take the positive reflections and keep doing them and learn from the negative reflections.
