Not being podcasters who like to put all the work onto our lovely guests, occasionally we front up and present some goodies of our own! And Emma's back with some more interesting things she's dug up as part of her doctoral research. Returning to the hot topic of reflection, Emma presents a new reflective model that she found, and we discuss some of the important considerations when trying to improve our own reflective practice.

If you're new to the subject of reflection in teaching, you might like to get up to speed by listening to last season's episode with Professor Brendan Cropley!
