Reflectors' Toolkit

This site is for people who want to reflect - maybe you already reflect or you have to do reflection in a course. Here you will find resources, models, and questions that can help you start your reflections as well as structuring them.

Reflective practice examines our thoughts, actions and experience and asks why they happened that way with the goal of improving ourselves or our understanding. Reflection can happen anywhere and anytime and doesn’t require anything but yourself and your mind. Sometimes it can be helpful to capture it, whether that is in conversation, in writing, drawing, or something completely different.

Have a look around the toolkit and get a sense of what is useful when reflecting and then pick out the information and questions that work for you. You are your own expert.

Bear in mind that if you are producing reflections for a course,  you understand any specific requirements and the assessment criteria.
