The Plan, Teach, Reflect, and Apply Cycle

Teacher Candidates internalize and refine their skills as a teacher through the practice of planning lessons, teaching them, reflecting upon their effectiveness, and applying what they have learned to their next lessons. Candidates learn and develop these practices through coursework and fieldwork at Dominican; these practices are part of the professional language and skills necessary both now and in the future.
