- "anyway, if you are honest with yourself you don't have to spend an inordinate amount of time on reflection"...hmmm. How does one determine whether she is "honest" with herself? How many people walk around saying "I lie to myself and I shirk opportunities to reflect or introspect"? - Kelly Marie Johnston on 2012-01-16

"Analysis is sometimes over-influenced by existing assumptions"
Possible activity: After completing a context map, participants will choose three or four stakeholders in schooling (must include self-as-teacher as one of the four) and create a graphic that (begins to) outline the strengths and weaknesses of each stakeholder's position/ability to evaluate/act upon teaching and learning.
It might also be interesting to ask participants to review Pollard's table and comment on some of the strengths and weaknesses listed by relating them to their teaching context. -

One sample of reflective process. Suggested course activity: Provide sample graphics--such as this one--and invite participants to create their own reflective process graphic. After completing graphics, participants will be asked to review and comment on at least two other participants' graphics.
