What Does it Mean to Be A Reflective Practitioner?

It is important to be a reflective practitioner in the educational field.  Part of the teaching experience involves the unknown and overcoming new obstacles with your student.  In each situation that I run into it is valuable to consider the causes and the outcomes of each circumstance.  After reviewing each circumstance and I must evaluate what could be done differently in the future.  There is always something to be learned and I will always strive to be better by improving myself as an educator.
