5. Further thoughts… Reflective Practice
Everything I do I analyse – was it the best it could be?
Journal every half term – what, how, why, what next?
(Show journal entries)
Video lessons – am I engaging enough? Am I too static? Etc.
(Show 30 sec. video, if I have it)
Move these thoughts into planning for next lessons
Planning is an ACTIVE process for me, not a PASSIVE process

6. Further thoughts… Reflexive Practice Winging it!
“Planning is an ACTIVE process, not a PASSIVE process”
From the word Reflex
Switching plans as you go on the basis of pupil enquiry
“I’ve brought this piece to lesson, can we have a look at it?”
Winging it!
Learner led lessons are reflexive, be prepared to have lessons that don’t follow the plans.
