Welcome!
Reflection is what allows us to learn from our experiences: it is an assessment of where we have been and where we want to go next. ~ Kenneth Wolf
Reflective practice is the thoughtful skill of thinking through and often discussing an experience with another person. To an extent we all do it - whether formally at work, or informally over coffee/tea with colleagues, friends, or family. There are advantages to being reflective for everyone. You can identify your strengths, enhance them, and thus affect student learning in an even greater way.
Once you've determined what you would like to change or improve in your teaching, take the time to check out some of CTL's other tutorials. They cover a variety of topics, from Service-Learning to Building Respect for Diversity in the Classroom.

Pratt, Professor of Adult and Higher Education, University of British Columbia, who presented at Saint Paul College on June 24, 2004 as part of the Minnesota State Colleges and Universities Center for Teaching and Learning Spring 2004 Weekend Seminar Series.
