Reflection-For-Practice

The future through expectation - Augustine’s Model of Time
​

Reflecting-for-action is “looking toward the future with knowledge of the past from the viewpoint of the present” (Conway, P., 2001, p. 90).  Teachers who are able to reflect-for-practice think back upon what they know from their experiences in the past, can think about their learning, and imagine how the future will be as they seek to improve or change practice.  Teachers can anticipate lessons before they occur (Farrell, 2013).  This forethought allows for pro-active planning practices and adjustments to structures and practice before the instruction begins.
