Reflective Writing
Reflective writing is a valuable tool for CPD and study, helping to make the most of experiences, record progress, improve performance, link theory and practice, and support professional development.
The library offers training sessions on reflective writing, available both in the library and on Teams, either as group sessions or one-on-one.
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 precise account of the events.(It should be a brief account of the key events/ideas only).
Irrelevant details that don't discuss the experience in context.
