Jenna Close has been in the sector for more than 20 years. She has started her teaching journey teaching in Primary and Secondary sector and very quickly realised her passion for Early Education.
She speaks so thoughtfully about her joy in her current role as a coach and mentor, and how much she values the growth journey that comes with it. We also touched on leadership, reciprocal learning, and the significance of building strong relationships and connections.
In this episode, I invite you to ponder on:
- What does critical reflection actually mean to you?
- What does this look like in practice for you?
- How often do you engage in deep, honest reflection?
- Do you document or keep track of your reflections?
- Do you share them with others?
- Do you notice how your body responds during reflection?
- And, how often do you revisit and celebrate the journey of reflection?
