Reflective Practice in ECEC Guiding questions for critical reflection • What do we know about this child (the focus child)? • Why did we make the decision/respond the way we did? • Were we guided by our philosophy and theories about how children learn (with a

focus on equity, inclusion and diversity)? • How did we feel about the decision? • What went well? What didn’t go well? • Should we continue, improve or change the decision/practice? • What were my feelings when it happened? • Why did I feel that way? • How can I use these feelings to motivate change for myself, the team, and the

service? • Can I share my critical reflections at a team meeting? • Can I develop ideas for improvement? • Can I implement a change and what will it look like?
