Reflective Practice Protocol
______________________________________________________________
Reflective practice is an ongoing, dynamic process of thinking honestly,
deeply and critically about all aspects of professional practice with children
and families. It occurs spontaneously as well as in essential planned
reflection time. Most importantly, reflective practice leads to action.
VEYLDF, Practice Principle Guide: Reflective Practice
Reflective practice is one of the practice principles in the Victoria Early Years
Learning and Development Framework. Understanding how to reflect is
critical to how you plan and create learning environments that view children
and families as capable, practice learning in relationship, and engage teacher
as researcher.
As part of each 4-5 days of placement, please complete a Reflective Practice
Protocol and discuss with your mentor teacher. Scheduling regular times
during your placement to engage in a focused discussion about practice with
your mentor teacher will help to ensure that reflection becomes regular
practice.
Please add your answers to the 5 questions below.

1.
What strength have you developed this past week?
What have you
learnt?
What was the outcome of your previous investigation into your
practice?
This past week, I have developed the strength of effective
communication with both children and their families. I have learned that
clear and empathetic communication is essential in building trust and
establishing positive relationships. My previous investigation into this
practice involved observing how different communication styles
impacted children's engagement and cooperation. The outcome was a
noticeable improvement in children's willingness to participate and
families' confidence in our centre’s activities.
