Asynchronous Discussion and Collaboration
Some of the most useful reflection happens not in real time but across days and weeks. Asynchronous dialogue, written exchanges, observation rounds, lesson study, and structured supervision give the practitioner ways to share and analyse practice that go beyond a single conversation. This chapter sets out the methods and the practices that make them work.
