1. Reflect on your practice and think broadly about what impacts your work.
Think about your: Consider:

always an opportunity for growth.

2. Think about the role of others in your professional practice. How do you seek, offer and consider
feedback from others? What have you learned from others? What do others learn from you?

I highly believe that communication is the key to have a successful team. There is no perfection
but everybody somewhat understands one another. That is very important in a team. Constant
communication is vital. Ensuring that communication is done in a positive and respectful manner
is always noted in such a way that addressing the field advisor and cooperating teachers in the
most formal way possible.

*Keep in mind about the How Does Learning Happen and Think, Feel, Act document as a tool in
