There is always room for development and improvement. Reflection is not just about finding or fixing issues or being unsuccessful in teaching, although reflection can be helpful in these situations it can be used more for improvement and learning. (Churchill et al, 2019, p.5479).

it is important to develop reflective practice as a teacher and is an ongoing process for a teacher that is made up of recording, analysing, and collecting information and observation (Rushton, I., & Suter, M., 2012). Reflective practice lets teachers build and improve from assessing one’s practice, concepts, and knowledge and from the studied effects. Reflective practice will benefit me as a teacher to learn from mistakes, improve my work and assist me in solving any problems I come across as an educator (Churchill et al., 2019 p. 29).

It is important as a teacher to reflect on the artefacts that I collect throughout my degree and placing them within my portfolio under the relevant standards. This also helps me determine which standards I need to develop further as well as reflecting on my teaching pedagogy and values as a teacher.

Whilst studying this degree in primary education I will have loads of opportunities to collect artefacts and review and reflect on these and place them in their relevant areas, this will also show my accomplishments so far as I further my degree over the years. Using reflection as a main tool in this collection of my artefacts related to the AITSL. (nd) standards will establish a high degree of understanding of my subject knowledge.
