It can deepen your understanding of situations by looking back at what worked well and what may need changing or improving; identifying your own performance, feelings and attitudes and determining your approach moving forward.
You may use your reflections to make changes to the environment, your own practice, CPD and development plans; to develop or improve relationships with colleagues or parents and to develop ideas to support children’s learning and development.
This Reflective Learning Journal will provide you with a special place to record your reflections (anything you wish to) throughout the programme. It is also rewarding to look back over the journey you have been on and the successes you have had.
Feel free to offer your Deputy Maths Champion and other staff taking part in the programme the option of keeping a reflective learning journal where they can record their own thoughts and learning as they go through the journey with you – this can be a very powerful and effective tool for their professional development.
The journal contains space to record training, reflections, ideas, highlights and also images. You can print and handwrite in the journal or save it to a computer drive. You can also use the information to help you complete your case study in Step 9 of the programme.
Please note: you do not need to submit your reflective journal, however you can share things from this with your allocated Early Years Adviser if you choose to do so during your catch ups.
