The most relevant Reflective Teaching gave by Salomon Au Yeung

Salomon starts telling that no one has taught him how to reflect. In order to go in the right direction. He mentioned that lived different situations in which his friends made him wonder what he was going to do. From that sense, Salomon invited us not to follow others' paths. He also mentioned in his lecture make ourselves questions such as listen to our inner voice as a way to choose a different path. He wondered himself questions such as if he follows the path of others. he would not be as good or same as them.  At that time, he started doing the thing that really liked.

Following In the sequence of his lecture, the speaker asked the participants questions to know more about themselves such as questions as to what do they really want to do? what do they think they are good at? This makes me think that we need to connect reflection into action.  According to Salomon, take action is what makes reflection different. He also told the way he started working as a teacher he realized that teaching for children was really a challenge so he reflected but he did not know what to do and started organizing different work for students. But until he talked to colleagues he knew that he was wrong in his teaching. In that way, we can reflect together to know different perspectives and to know others' experiences. After those reflections and discussions, he knew how to improve in the classroom. We as the teacher have to find the time to reflect on what we are doing right and what we are doing wrong in the classes and how can we improve. Also, we as teachers need spaces to reflect upon our practices and to prepare for students.  In that way, we will be more quality teachers. On other words, we need to reflect on day to day as a journey of being learners.
