Hi James, Reflective teaching is when you recall an experience or situation and then create a context for the reflection. Generally in recalling the experience or situation the action takes in considered and then evaluated in relation to outcomes. This method of teaching works well with higher level students that are about to complete their training. The reflection, consideration and evaluation process is used to help students transfer their knowledge and thinking to other situations or the big picture type of thinking. With more and more of these experiences behind them the students are better prepared to problem solve when they are out on their own. Gary
