Reflections on each of your experiences. Reflections allow you to analyze the Internship activity.

The act of reflection is influenced by constructivist theory. In essence, it is a way of thinking that allows you to make adjustments to your beliefs or concepts, to learn from your or other’s mistakes, to recognize progress you think you have made, and/or to identify needed changes in attitude, disposition, decision-making, actions, or behaviors.

Reflections must consist of statements regarding:

• • Knowledge you gained from the activity and what Standard/Indicator were associated with the activity.

  • How the activity helped you master the Standard/Indicator.

Reflections may consist of statements regarding:

• • Insights into the patterns of interactions of the participants,

  • Group processes including: who had power, authority, or influence, who was participating and who was not, who was not included,

  • How did you or another leader draw the silent teachers out, was there confrontation, conflict, consensus, agreement, hurt feelings, etc.

  • Notations addressing the affective or feeling tone evident,

  • Concerns you noticed,

  • Questions you have that you should research or about which you can seek expert advice from your campus-based site mentor or your professor, and

  • Issues that puzzle you.
