Frameworks and Identity
Reflective Frameworks and Identity
How a teacher reflects depends on the framework they use. Who they become as a teacher depends on the identity they build over time. This chapter walks through Hegarty’s three-step reflective framework, the idea of personal practical theory, professional identity, how identity develops through participation in professional communities, and Multiple Intelligence theory as a lens for reflective practice.
