.png)
CPD and study will usually require elements of reflective reading, reflective writing and reflective practice.
Reflective writing:
​
​
-
Provides a way in which you can make best use of an experience.
-
Can be used to record your progress throughout your study/practice.
-
Can improve your performance by using the outcome of reflection to inform future practice.
-
Is a means of learning by making links between theory and your practice.
-
Is a skill which can continue to help you develop professionally.
Good Reflective Writing
-
Demonstrates personal insight into how you are performing and show learning from your everyday experiences.
-
Has some evidence of critical thinking and analysis, describing your own thought processes
-
Reveals self-awareness, demonstrating openness and honesty about performance along with some consideration of your own feelings
-
Contains some evidence of learning, appropriately describing what needs to be learned, why and how
-
Includes appropriate linkage to relevant criteria/curriculum (where this is relevant)
-
Demonstrates behaviours that allow linkage to one or more competence areas (where this is relevant)
Poor Reflective Writing
-
Just a description of what you did or read.
-
A detailed description of what actually took place. (It should be a brief account of the key events/ideas only).
-
Irrelevant details that don't discuss the experience in context.
