Although it is important to identify where we are now, it is not enough to stop there. We need to reflect upon how we can develop the skills where we are less confident and how we can transfer the skills in which we are confident and competent.
| Recognition | Reflection | Action |
| Skills already developed | How will I use these | How do I know (evidence)** |
| Speaking formally or informally as appropriate – ensuring a professional manner | Throughout MA1, professionalism was a core module and a hugely-debated topic in teaching and education. I learned about my own confidence in being a professional whilst on placement, as I saw the theory of professional conduct in practice. | |
| Working as a team member – interacting with others | Team-teaching, collaborative working. I worked in a group in the ‘Working Together’ elective module in MA1 which required planning, organising, being a cooperative and committed team member. * | |
| Meeting deadlines | Using my ability to work under pressure, in order to meet deadlines for assignments, ‘study plan’ schedules: e.g., preparation for the exam in MA1. | |
| Risk-taking – facing challenges | ||
| Being creative – e.g., on placement using my creative skills, blogging | ||
