Teacher Reflection

Reflection is one of the most important tools to ensure a successful service-learning experience. It is the means through which someone can make sense of what they are seeing and doing. Reflection activities can include writing a journal, newsletter, poem, or report; using art such as painting a mural, making a sculpture, or putting together a scrapbook of photos. In the classroom more structured reflection activities such as directed reading, student narratives, ethical case studies, and experiential research papers are often used.
