juliacphang 2015-05-06T20:04:04 @Marisa_C For me it's someone who takes time to think about how their lessons went, what went well, what could be improved etc...  #eltchat
rmoyano5 2015-05-06T20:04:28 @Marisa_C @SueAnnan @juliacphang #ELTchat thank you for hosting! :-)
GlenysHanson 2015-05-06T20:04:51 #eltchat Reflective teachers are seldom satisfied with what they do.
Marisa_C 2015-05-06T20:05:06 @juliacphang @SueAnnan Great definitions both showing analytical skills required #eltchat (and the desire to improve)
SueAnnan 2015-05-06T20:05:38 @GlenysHanson which is as it should be, or where is the benefit in reflecting :-) #ELTchat
Marisa_C 2015-05-06T20:05:38 @GlenysHanson nitpickers by trade ? #eltchat :-)  - but yes true
HanaTicha 2015-05-06T20:05:49 Hi #ELTchat A great definition by Glenys! https://t.co/FE5SKduFvT
Marisa_C 2015-05-06T20:06:31 I am in the nitpicking, and hairsplitting business :-D #eltchat - it;s the only way i can get better

SueAnnan 2015-05-06T20:07:04 Hi Kate #ELTchat
rmoyano5 2015-05-06T20:07:23 @juliacphang @Marisa_C I #ELTchat I agree! Plus someone who enjoys reaching out in order to improve.
Marisa_C 2015-05-06T20:07:28 @GlenysHanson @HanaTicha @KateLloyd05 @Nafooh1988 welcome remember to include #ELTchat in ur tweets
MarjorieRosenbe 2015-05-06T20:07:30 Topic:reflective teaching? #eltchat
KateLloyd05 2015-05-06T20:07:53 @Marisa_C it's not teachers that need to be reflective practitioners #ELTchat
SueAnnan 2015-05-06T20:07:56 what do we need to make us better at reflection? #ELTchat
GemL1 2015-05-06T20:08:03 @Marisa_C I think awareness is a big part of being a RP, working out why things happened/ are happening in the classroom #eltchat
KateLloyd05 2015-05-06T20:08:49 @Marisa_C it seems to me that the 'better' I get, the more nitpicky I am. #ELTchat
Marisa_C 2015-05-06T20:08:55 @rmoyano5 I do agree it helps - the reaching out part - as in inviting collaboration and reflection #ELTchat
HanaTicha 2015-05-06T20:08:57 @SueAnnan Be able to ask the right questions after the lesson? #ELTchat
KateLloyd05 2015-05-06T20:09:15 @SueAnnan take time to think #eltchat
SueAnnan 2015-05-06T20:09:30 @HanaTicha good point. Im not sure we all do it though #ELTchat
KateLloyd05 2015-05-06T20:09:30 @GemL1 @Marisa_C and not just blame the students #ELTchat
Marisa_C 2015-05-06T20:09:35 @KateLloyd05 te he - i know! #eltchat - i have declared myself already - nitipickers anonymous
harrisonmike 2015-05-06T20:09:47 RT @juliacphang: @Marisa_C For me it's someone who takes time to think about how their lessons went, what went well, what could be improved…
GlenysHanson 2015-05-06T20:09:53 #eltchat I imagine we're all nitpickers or we wouldn't be here. We all want to improve, don't we?
KateLloyd05 2015-05-06T20:09:59 @Marisa_C something I need to reign in when doing obs, #eltchat
MarjorieRosenbe 2015-05-06T20:10:02 @SueAnnan Teacher training helps us reflect on what we do. #eltchat
juliacphang 2015-05-06T20:10:03 @MarjorieRosenbe "How can teachers become better reflective practitioners? Can reflective skills be taught?" #ELTchat
joannacre 2015-05-06T20:10:03 @SueAnnan observe/be observed/think and take action #eltchat
SueAnnan 2015-05-06T20:10:09 @KateLloyd05 true. Not something we always have a lot of, though #ELTchat
rmoyano5 2015-05-06T20:10:30 @HanaTicha @SueAnnan #ELTchat and DURING the lesson too. I think reflection takes place also while teaching
HanaTicha 2015-05-06T20:10:43 @SueAnnan When sth goes wrong, we  usually sulk about it but the question is what do we learn from the failure #ELTchat

GemL1 2015-05-06T20:10:57 @KateLloyd05 @Marisa_C yes definitely, or the materials #eltchat
theteacherjames 2015-05-06T20:11:13 @GlenysHanson Or at the very least, a reflective teacher can always find grounds for improvement #ELTchat

Marisa_C 2015-05-06T20:11:40 @theteacherjames hey James welcome! #eltchat :-)
harrisonmike 2015-05-06T20:11:43 @rmoyano5 @HanaTicha @SueAnnan and before? #preflection cc @sbrowntweets #eltchat
joannacre 2015-05-06T20:12:09 @rmoyano5 @HanaTicha @SueAnnan it better! If sth isn't working, then you need to realise it and do sth!! #eltchat
juliacphang 2015-05-06T20:12:16 @KateLloyd05 Hi Kate, can I ask what you mean by that? Think I'm missing something! #ELTchat

rmoyano5 2015-05-06T20:12:18 @GlenysHanson #ELTchat our students let us know! :-)
SueAnnan 2015-05-06T20:12:31 What kind of feedback do we need, in order to know if we are getting better? #ELTchat
HanaTicha 2015-05-06T20:12:53 @SueAnnan Sandwich feedback works fine #ELTchat
GemL1 2015-05-06T20:12:58 @rmoyano5 yes I think refelection during class is really important and probably more effective yet harder to do #eltchat
rmoyano5 2015-05-06T20:12:59 @harrisonmike @HanaTicha @SueAnnan @sbrowntweets #ELTchat it happens all the time I think. We should distinguish between
SueAnnan 2015-05-06T20:13:01 @harrisonmike nice to have you here MIke #ELTchat
MarjorieRosenbe 2015-05-06T20:13:03 @Marisa_C taking meta position good definition for me. #eltchat
Marisa_C 2015-05-06T20:13:27 Watching the learners a great idea @HanaTicha wrote this great blog post about videotaping her Ss - would u share pls #ELTchat
rmoyano5 2015-05-06T20:13:33 @harrisonmike @HanaTicha @SueAnnan @sbrowntweets #ELTchat types of reflection. Deep reflection usually after the lesson
ITLegge 2015-05-06T20:13:34 @SueAnnan structure and tools to reflect effectively #eltchat Hi everyone!
SueAnnan 2015-05-06T20:13:56 @ITLegge Hi Helen #ELTchat
Marisa_C 2015-05-06T20:14:02 Yes - absolutely - that's what it is of course :-) #ELTchat  https://t.co/MCh7au8t6f
harrisonmike 2015-05-06T20:14:15 @rmoyano5 @HanaTicha @SueAnnan #eltchat for me it's about being in the right mindset and having right tools to be able to reflect
theteacherjames 2015-05-06T20:14:20 @HanaTicha I never sulk! I assume things can always get better so I’m ready for when it wasn’t perfect. #ELTchat
rmoyano5 2015-05-06T20:14:22 @harrisonmike @HanaTicha @SueAnnan @sbrowntweets #ELTchat problem is we might have more lessons after,then commitments..
Nafooh1988 2015-05-06T20:14:28 reflection involves the metacognitive aspects as if you stand out of yourself to comment on your practice. #ELTchat
theteacherjames 2015-05-06T20:14:39 @Marisa_C hiya ☺ #ELTchat
GemL1 2015-05-06T20:14:51 @HanaTicha what do you mean by sandwich feedback? #eltchat
Marisa_C 2015-05-06T20:15:02 Yes - also mentioned by @MarjorieRosenbe #ELTchat  https://t.co/rZnyNqWcbt
ITLegge 2015-05-06T20:15:10 @HanaTicha @SueAnnan yes! We def need support to deal with criticism in all its forms and use it constructively #eltchat
joannacre 2015-05-06T20:15:14 @SueAnnan feedback from sts, other teachers and when possible watching ourselves (recordings) #eltchat
harrisonmike 2015-05-06T20:15:16 @SueAnnan self feedback - notes in reflective journal - feedback from others - informal obs are great #eltchat
rmoyano5 2015-05-06T20:15:17 @harrisonmike @HanaTicha @SueAnnan @sbrowntweets #ELTchat CPD sessions on a Sat morning tend to be good for reflection
Nafooh1988 2015-05-06T20:15:39 A suggestion that might help is to record yourself teaching.Then at home you can watch it to see which parts need improvements. #ELTchat
HanaTicha 2015-05-06T20:15:44 @GemL1 Positive-negative-positive #ELTchat
SueAnnan 2015-05-06T20:15:54 Good ideas here #ELTchat https://t.co/YbkEIfJMch
Marisa_C 2015-05-06T20:16:05 May be with a question - like watch how I explain and let me know what u think #eltchat or other area https://t.co/fJeupXcp2y
GlenysHanson 2015-05-06T20:16:09 #eltchat It's easy to look at students. How do you learn to see where they're at?

harrisonmike 2015-05-06T20:16:33 @rmoyano5 getting a record down is essential then, even if only the high/lowlights - 5 bullet pts per lesson at least? #eltchat
rmoyano5 2015-05-06T20:16:39 @GemL1 #ELTchat agree! We should start recording all our lessons! So we could rewatch ourselves in action! :P
HanaTicha 2015-05-06T20:16:55 @Marisa_C Sure, let me find it :-) #ELTchat
juliacphang 2015-05-06T20:17:00 @Nafooh1988 This has been suggested to me before but I've never tried it! Have you? Would be interested to hear how you found it #ELTchat
harrisonmike 2015-05-06T20:17:10 @Marisa_C @SueAnnan setting observer a task is really useful - agree #eltchat
rmoyano5 2015-05-06T20:17:11 @harrisonmike @HanaTicha @SueAnnan which tools? #ELTchat
SueAnnan 2015-05-06T20:17:27 I've got colleagues doing a COI at the moment. Interesting to see what they are finding out as they observe #ELTchat
Marisa_C 2015-05-06T20:17:38 Reflection should be focused - Ts don't have enough time to watch themselves all the time - #eltchat so we need Qs for reflection- a goal
KateLloyd05 2015-05-06T20:17:50 @juliacphang I mean that in many occupations, successful people are reflective, think about what they do +whether it's effective, #eltchat
harrisonmike 2015-05-06T20:18:11 @rmoyano5 @GemL1 or even just audio if you don't have opportunity to set up a camera. Smartphone in pkt will do #eltchat
GemL1 2015-05-06T20:18:15 @Marisa_C @HanaTicha agree.I found videoing classes v.useful 4 more accurate RP things r not always as they seem/u remember! #eltchat
HanaTicha 2015-05-06T20:18:30 Here|s the video, Marisa http://t.co/jBOqP0vzCB #ELTchat Observing class in retrospect https://t.co/THYiY3AQyd
GlenysHanson 2015-05-06T20:18:46 #eltchat I've found it useful to have observers who see what I don't in my class.
theteacherjames 2015-05-06T20:18:47 @Marisa_C yes, it’s as good idea to focus on specific areas where you want to improve. #ELTchat
Marisa_C 2015-05-06T20:18:57 One of the characteristics of skilled ppl is checking the effect of their performance on others (and amending appropriately #ELTchat
Nafooh1988 2015-05-06T20:18:57 @Marisa_C @harrisonmike @SueAnnan Fully agree#ELTchat
juliacphang 2015-05-06T20:19:02 @KateLloyd05 Ahh ok, so you meant that plenty of other occupations require reflection too? Thanks for clarifying :) #ELTchat

GemL1 2015-05-06T20:20:17 @harrisonmike @rmoyano5 yes, or just record snippets of class and focus on different aspects - CCQs, starting a class etc #eltchat
Marisa_C 2015-05-06T20:20:22 Can we train Ts to be reflective? What do you think #eltchat (for me it's an important part of my job as trainer)

GemL1 2015-05-06T20:21:06 @KateLloyd05 @rmoyano5 haha think eveyone does but you soon get over it and focus on other things! #eltchat
SueAnnan 2015-05-06T20:21:12 Trainees certainly need to do selfreflection on their course, but how do you ensure they keep it up afterwards? #ELTchat
juliacphang 2015-05-06T20:22:01 @Marisa_C I think reflection can be encouraged but it's hard to teach as such. Providing tools and space to reflect helps a lot #ELTchat
GemL1 2015-05-06T20:22:19 @HanaTicha Ok, sounds like a good idea thanks #eltchat
joannacre 2015-05-06T20:22:39 @SueAnnan you can't really ensure that they will. You just hope that they will! #eltchat
theteacherjames 2015-05-06T20:23:11 @KateLloyd05 @rmoyano5 @GemL1 Everyone does, that’s not a very good excuse! ☺ #ELTchat
joannacre 2015-05-06T20:23:14 @SueAnnan But when ur training is all about reflecting at some point it becomes automatic!! #eltchat
KateLloyd05 2015-05-06T20:23:16 @juliacphang @rmoyano5 @GemL1 In my head I sound cooler #eltchat
juliacphang 2015-05-06T20:23:18 @SueAnnan With difficulty, probably! Hard when suddenly teaching FT in new environment but providing tools&time to reflect helpful #ELTchat
YuminakadaiYumi 2015-05-06T20:23:22 Nice to meet you everyone! yes i think recording is good idea #eltchat
Marisa_C 2015-05-06T20:23:24 @joannacre @SueAnnan very true - some will some won't - i find the first kind here on twitter :-) #ELTchat
HanaTicha 2015-05-06T20:23:26 @Marisa_C Sometimes I think that being reflective is part of human nature but I believe it can be trained. #ELTchat
rmoyano5 2015-05-06T20:23:51 @Marisa_C #eltchat yes! By providing debates for example. Discussions in which issues are talked about and even analyzed
SueAnnan 2015-05-06T20:23:51 @joannacre that would be fine, but i think most of them drop the practice asap, as they are so busy preparing other things #ELTchat
GemL1 2015-05-06T20:24:03 @Marisa_C think you can help Ts be more reflective with tools such as the ELC & asking the right Qs as @HanaTicha said & practice! #eltchat
juliacphang 2015-05-06T20:24:10 @KateLloyd05 @rmoyano5 @GemL1 :) #ELTchat

rmoyano5 2015-05-06T20:25:21 @juliacphang @SueAnnan #ELTchat I think CPD courses are great bc they provide the time and space to reflect
theteacherjames 2015-05-06T20:25:28 @Marisa_C it can definitely be built into training. An opportunity to reflect after every lesson. #ELTchat

juliacphang 2015-05-06T20:32:11 @HanaTicha Definitely - I've learnt a lot from observing others #ELTchat
Shaunwilden 2015-05-06T20:32:14 @harrisonmike I tend to agree with you Mike but I guess we always reflect in some way after a class  #ELTchat
Marisa_C 2015-05-06T20:32:21 yes - sometimes distancing uself from the battlefield & bringing in another discipline helps a LOT #ELTchat  https://t.co/ldVUWLD83x

HanaTicha 2015-05-06T20:33:58 @SueAnnan Probably depends on teaching context. We are required to observe each other - sometimes we grumble but it's to the good #ELTchat

KateLloyd05 2015-05-06T20:34:08 @HanaTicha yes, learned loads abt teaching well fm observin others,not thgs I wasn't doing,but watchin s/o else makes u think why? #ELTChat

GemL1 2015-05-06T20:41:12 @KateLloyd05 not specifically but did the Trinity Dip and there's a lot about observing in there #eltchat
SueAnnan 2015-05-06T20:41:29 @Marisa_C Same with DipTESOL. There are two parts. One observation and reflect, and one to reflect on own practice #ELTchat
brockus_a 2015-05-06T20:41:36 When observed I lock up and teach differently. But it depends on the overall atmosphere. Also can change S behavior #ELTchat

Marisa_C 2015-05-06T20:43:13 One area that works really well for reflection is analysing your own talk #eltchat but u have to record it first
MarjorieRosenbe 2015-05-06T20:43:28 @Marisa_C @dorapap72 I blogged about this too after using some of the ideas in a plenary in Thessaloniki. #eltchat
GlenysHanson 2015-05-06T20:43:29 @HanaTicha  #eltchat I've found it useful to name my emotions to get distance from them so I can concentrate on the pedagogical reflection.
