“This lesson has taught me that I need to use reflective practice more often. I intend to look deeper into my upbringing and beliefs and values and determine how it may affect my teaching or learning. I want my colleagues and the families to know what is important to me as a teacher, and to state a clear teaching philosophy so everyone knows how I intend to teach and what is important to me.”

“After completion of The Reflective Teacher online course, I feel really inspired to carefully think about my beliefs and experiences in more depth as well as how I apply those beliefs to the way I teach in the classroom in order to better accommodate the families and children in my care and provide them with tools that may enrich life.”
