This reflective practice workshop will utilize remote learning to examine the foundational knowledge and skills of reflective practice. This workshop will distinguish the difference between learning the components of reflective practice and participating in the experience of reflective practice. Participants will explore the principles of capable reflection such as the fundamentals of creating the reflective space, listening, observation, and responsive skills that comprise the reflective experience as well as consider the ethical questions that may arise when engaging in reflective practice
