Aimed at those working in education, this book contains 78 activities and exercises for practicing core reflection individually or in groups and exploring and manifesting personal qualities and talents based on positive psychology. They relate to reflecting on inspiration and stagnation; tapping into the power of core qualities; using the channels of thinking, feeling, and wanting; using the power of desires and ideals; going with the flow; letting go of limitations; connecting to aspects of personality; working with presence and mindfulness; and turning problems into opportunities for growth. Each chapter describes the theme from an everyday perspective and introductory activities to help recognize the theme in work, training, or at home, as well as further activities for daily experiences in teaching, and scientific background. The book was first published in Dutch. Annotation ©2014 Ringgold, Inc., Portland, OR (protoview.com)

Practicing Core Reflection features 78 concrete educational activities and exercises based on research. These can be used individually and in groups to support 'teaching and learning from within.’ Core Reflection is an approach focused on people's personal strengths and on using practical strategies to overcome obstacles to the enactment of these strengths. This approach has been used in many contexts all over the world and has shown great promise in helping to re-chart the course for education and to re-think its purpose in global and democratic societies. Additional tools (Cards, Figures, Tables, Forms in a printable PDF format) are provided on this website (under the eResources tab). Building on the theoretical foundations established in Korthagen, Kim, and Green’s Teaching and Learning from Within: A Core Reflection Approach to Quality and Inspiration in Education, this companion volume can be used together with it or on its own to engage educators in exploring what it means to bring out the best in oneself, in students, in colleagues, and others—a critically significant project if education is to realize new levels of possibility and potential.

Arvustused

"The vast majority of teachers are passionate about their work; Evelein and Korthagen describe how to tap this passion in order to sustain them in their important work. This project is exciting and full of potential for me as a teacher mentor."

Paul McCormick, University of Pennsylvania Graduate School of Education, USA

"This book is at the forefront of the field. As a workbook it takes theory and practice, moulds them together in useable ways, and makes it possible for a teacher to not only make sense of the ideas but be capable of leading their development in classroom practice."

John Loughran, Monash University, Australia

"This is a unique collection that will enhance the work of all who aspire to become reflective practitioners."

Tom Russell, Queens University, Canada
