You have the option to use reflection prompts from the collection below to inspire or frame your critical writing for the professional learning tasks in this course. These prompts:

• are clear, concise and ask you to think critically.

• are relevant and meaningful to you and course learning goals.

• allow you to give responses that move beyond simple description of the experience to an analysis of how the experience contributed to the student understanding of self, others, and/or course concepts.

• guide you to demonstrate connections between the experience and material from other courses; past experience; and/or personal goals.

• challenge you to question their own biases, stereotypes, preconceptions, and/or assumptions and define new modes of thinking as a result.

• Reflecting on elements of the course

• Reflecting on your thoughts and feelings

• Reflecting on your learning and professional development

• Reflecting critically on readings
