Reflective Practice through Mentorship: A Program Reflection
Pottinger, Emily; Dyer, Rebekah; Akard, Jena
Journal of Instructional Research, v8 n2 p62-69 2019
Reflection is an essential practice within the field of teaching. In addition, education is a profession that is in a constant state of flux as new research, theory, and policy is created. Because of this, teachers must continually evaluate, assess, and reflect in order to stay abreast with new initiatives, practices, and expectations within the classroom. However, maintaining this ever-changing knowledge requires collaboration. Both reflection practice and teaching practice benefit greatly through interactions and mentorships among colleagues. The following will explore and reflect upon how one college used a faculty mentorship program to improve adjunct faculty's reflective and teaching practices through collaboration.
