In this one-hour ‘Mirrors of Growth’ workshop start learning about yourself as an educator. This workshop emphasises the importance of reflective practices in teaching and learning. Use techniques that encourage you to think deeply, enhance self-awareness, and drive personal and professional growth, fostering an environment where educators and learners thrive together. 

In this workshop, we will put into practice the following ACE Teaching Standards indicators: 

7.1 Use feedback from communities and learner information to reflect on and evaluate the effectiveness of teaching. 

7.2 Assist learners to carefully consider information and ideas to reflect on their learning.
