  10. 3. We blame ourselves for things out of our control The Choosing We were first equal Mary and I with the same coloured ribbons in mouse-coloured hair, and with equal shyness we curtseyed to the lady councillor for copies of Collins’s Children Classics. First equal, equally proud. Best friends too Mary and I a common bond in being cleverest(equal) in our small school’s small class. I remember the competition for top desk or to read aloud the lesson at school service. And my terrible fear of her superiority at sums. I remember the housing scheme Where we both stayed. The same house, different homes, where the choices were made. I don’t know exactly why they moved, but anyway they went. Something about a three-apartment and a cheaper rent. But from the top deck of the high school bus I’d glimpse among the others on the corner Mary’s father, mufflered, contrasting strangely with the elegant greyhounds by his side. He didn’t believe in high school education, especially for girls, or in forking out for uniforms. Ten years later on a Saturday- I am coming home from the library- sitting near me on the bus, Mary with a husband who is tall, curly haired, has eyes for no one else but Mary. Her arms are round the full-shaped vase that is her body. Oh, you can see where the attraction lies in Mary’s life- not that I envy her, really. And I am coming from the library with my arms full of books. I think of the prizes that were ours for the taking and wonder when the choices got made we don’t remember making. Liz Lochhead

  21. Reflexive practice involves thinking more critically about themselves, their assumptions, actions, and situations they encounter; to see multiple interpretations and constructions of reality (Cunliffe, 2004 pp 407-426) http://www.eten-online.org/img/publications/ETEN%2017%20proceedings.pdf#page=135

  26. A belief is an idea you no longer question Thomas (2004))

  27. The term Belief generally refers to acceptance of a proposition for which there is no conventional knowledge, one that is not demonstrable, and for which there is accepted disagreement (Woods 1996: 195)

  28. Teachers’ beliefs about learning will affect everything they do in the classroom … deep-rooted beliefs ... will pervade their classroom actions more than a particular methodology they are told to adopt or course-book they follow. Williams and Burden 1997: 57 http://www.prodait.org/resources/cr_on_teaching.pdf

  29. Belief ‘I set homework and the students don’t do it’ QUESTION IT: all pupils? Which ones? Value to some? Feelings of failure if not imposed? Authority challenged? Reframed If I set homework I feel like a failure Underlying fears

  30. What beliefs may underlie your feelings about the situation? • Roger/Hugh Belief – fear of older males? • Sophie Belief – nobody likes her

  31. For Brookfield, critical reflection is important for some of the following reasons: 1.    to increase the probability that teachers will take informed actions – those that can be explained and justified to self and others; 2.       to enable  teachers to provide a rationale behind their practice which  can be crucial to establishing credibility with student; 3.       to avoid self-laceration - believing that the teacher is to blame if students are not learning; 4.       to ground teachers emotionally; 5.       to enliven the classroom by making it challenging, interesting and stimulating for students; 6.       to increase democratic trust as a result of the examples and modeling conveyed by the teacher, thereby allowing students to learn democratic behavior and a moral tone.
