It outlines the next steps for participants to: 1) Report to the large group on practices they reviewed and patterns observed from homework readings. 2) Post responses to guide questions in an online forum about what was learned from others' practices and the meaning of effective reflection. 3) Post a reflective blog post to their campus portfolio focusing on 1-3 things learned and how insights could impact plans for the next year.

The Next Steps: 3B – Guide Questions
•What was the most interesting thing you learned from looking at others
practices? What seemed most promising or intriguing? Why?
•What did the homework readings and the campus review reveal about the
meaning of effective reflective practice? What patterns emerged for you? What
did you observe, for example, in terms of variations of effective reflection
according to context or the type of connection reflection helps make?
•Using Dewey’s criteria (eg reflection as connection, or reflection as systemic and
disciplined), what type of reflective practice seemed most common? Least
common? Why might this be? What does this suggest about the strengths and
weaknesses of our practice? About the strengths and weaknesses of Dewey’s 4
part framework?
•How might you define reflection at this point? Based on readings and the
examples from the C2L Campus Portfolios, how is your definition of reflection
changing?
•What questions did these examples of effective practice raise for you?
