Did you know that you can access a simple tool inside your FDCA Member Zone to support you with critical reflection?
FDCA’s Critical Reflection in Practice Guide contains an overview of the critical reflection cycle and a series of provocations to help educators embed critical reflection into their practice, as an ongoing and dynamic process.
The Guide is accompanied by a Critical Reflection Companion Resource (the Companion Resource) to assist members to make the most of their Guide and strengthen their pedagogical understanding. The Companion Resource looks further into what critical reflection is, how often it should be done and its importance for early childhood educators in delivering best practice.
Both the Guide and the Companion Resource have been developed in line with our commitment to offering our members a wide range of accessible and practical resources to support their business.
You can access the Guide (FDCA Critical Reflection Tool Poster) and Companion Resource in your FDCA Member Zone.
