How can teachers collect evidence about their teaching?
This reflective question and many others await your discussion and analysis in this revised edition of TESOL Press’s best-selling Reflective Teaching, which explores different approaches to how teachers can reflect on their practice in second language classrooms. Farrell uses his six principles of reflective practice—Reflective Practice is Holistic, Reflective Practice is Evidence Based, Reflective Practice Involves Dialogue, Reflective Practice Bridges Principles and Practices, Reflective Practice Requires a Disposition to Inquiry, and Reflective Practice is a Way of Life—to provide a comprehensive overview.
