Reflective practitioner with Abrial.
Jane Waters Executive Headteacher, Seven Kings School
One of our leading reflective practitioners
Everyone knows that a reflective practitioner is a better professional. But reflection is a sophisticated skill, that is difficult to acquire.
To this end, we award practitioners who have worked with us to develop their skills of reflection to a high standard, the status of ‘A reflective practitioner.’
This signposts to other professionals that when they are working with ‘a reflective practitioner,’ they experience someone who has
- enhanced self-awareness
- elevated emotional intelligence
- the ability to make mindful, informed choices
At Abrial, we believe that these challenging times in education mean that the only way to be your best professional self is to find a space for reflection.
- When financial and temporal capital are scarce, the thing you still have is human capital.
- Without time and money, you cannot work harder, but you can work smarter, and smart grows out of reflection.
- Reflection enables you to reclaim your agency as a practitioner; you are not ‘done to;’ instead you work out the next best move you can make.
