Reflection is the process or act of looking back at what you have done, what you thought, and how you felt at the time in order to generate new understandings. As a professional educator you will be required to make decisions that impact the lives of others and your ability to reflect upon your experience is essential as this can promote the active construction of new knowledge, skills, and attitudes to help you and your students excel. As you research reaching via reflective tasks, and generate new perceptions, awareness, and approaches, you are critically evaluating not only the practicum but also yourself within that context. Teachers teach who they are.
