The framework outlines five levels of reflective practicePhilosophy; Principles; Theory-of-Practice; Practice; Beyond Practiceand provides specific techniques for teachers to implement each level of reflection in their work. Designed to allow readers to take either a deductive approach, moving from theory-into-practice, or an inductive approach where they start from a practice-into-theory position, the framework can be used by teachers alone, in pairs, or in a group.
