Create meaningful, fulfilling, and successful professional development training for your teachers!

This expanded version of the original bestseller integrates the latest research and technology with tried-and-true methods for boosting practitioners′ reflective thinking skills. The tasks and tools provided have been specifically designed for facilitators of pre-service and inservice teacher education, training, and development-giving them a timesaving blueprint on how to shape their adult learners into analytical and critical thinkers.

Attuned to the challenges surrounding teacher training, this easy-to-use guide outlines straightforward activities and concrete assessments that serve as constructive benchmarks for facilitators and teachers alike. It delivers 50 practical strategies for helping educators move through the levels of reflective thinking-from teacher roles, styles, attributes, and observations through such far-reaching concerns as the moral and ethical considerations of teaching.

New to this second edition are strategies to:

  • Strengthen electronic portfolios with reflective writing
  • Optimize video as a self-assessment tool
  • Access relevant resources on the Internet
  • Tap into online peer mentoring
  • Encourage reflection through learning communities

These field-tested methods will empower teachers with the knowledge, motivation, and self-assurance to become reflective educators, giving them the key to a more meaningful, fulfilling, and successful career, teaching all of our children to succeed.
