A tweet from Tony Hirst led me indirectly to this page, which seeks to expand the 'zone of reflective activity' for teachers engaged in action research. The authors write, "good reflective teaching must provide opportunities for teachers to be self critical, able to question the goals, values, and assumptions that guide their work within the context in which they teach. However, solitary self-reflection can lead to deceiving oneself through viewing oneself solely through the lens of one's own self-beliefs and assumptions." Fair enough - but in my own practice I don't actually distinguish between practice and reflection, at least, not in any practical sense. Doing and reflecting are two sides of the same thing, not separate events. That said, expanding this to involve as many people as possible is deefinitely a good idea.
