Not sure what reflective writing is, or how to do it effectively? Need to reflect for LEAP or your NAP portfolio, but not sure if you're doing it right? Feel like you knew about this in the past, but could do with a refresher?
All UoM staff are welcome to attend this session, which serves as an introduction or refresher on reflection and reflective practice. We will discuss the purpose of reflection and how it's different to 'just thinking' or ruminating, and we'll explore a few models that can help you to structure and deepen your reflection (and might help you if you find you're getting stuck). You can ask any questions you have on reflective thinking or reflective writing, and discuss any difficulties you may be having with these.
This session is a friendly and informal space for you to explore reflection. It is facilitated by colleagues who believe in the developmental potential of reflection, but also understand that not everybody likes reflection or feels confident in it. Please come along with your questions and concerns, and we'll hopefully support you in finding a way forward that helps reflection work for you.
For those who want to carve out some protected quiet time to get on with reflection, ‘Shut Up and Write’ style you may wish to attend one of our 'Action on Reflection' sessions
