Critical Reflection (Understanding, Practice, Professional Identity)
Reflection refers to your developing awareness of our own learning process over the course of the semester in understading social justice concepts and related issues. When we speak of reflection as a crucial component of learning, we are not using the term in its commonsense meaning of reverie or abstract introspection. We are referring to the development of our ability to step back and consider a situation critically and analytically, with growing insight into your own learning processes as a kind of metacognition. Have I explored my own personal biases and prejudices; awareness of existing inequalities; consider race and class multiperspectives; cultural and linguistic sensitivities? What insight do I bring to my own classroom in changing my own teaching perspectives and attitudes?
