Reflective practitioners seek to solve problems through a balanced inquiry about practical situations.

A reflective practitioner builds and examines knowledge about learners, the culture and curricula of schooling, and the contexts in which teaching and learning occur; such a practice assists an educator in simultaneously renewing, invigorating, and maximizing the teaching process. Such renewal requires contemplation about:

• One’s self and the effect on the teaching/learning process;
• One’s previously acquired knowledge, skills and dispositions;
• One’s current learners and educational setting;
• One’s vision for accountability and development of every learner’s potential.
