**6. Professional issues:** ** I feel I am at a professional cross-roads created by many factors: economic, social, politic, personal and group expectational. These are creating professional issues which needs to be critically analysed and reflected on in order to prepare and adapt myself and the team for an uncertain future. Some of these changes are factual where others maybe conceptual so concepts and ideas and pre-conceived ideas will have to be carefully looked at before setting up any plans. ** ** I have identified three main topics: ** a) The changes within the section with the Curriculum leader leaving b) The economic downturn with 10% less funding available this year (find evidence) c) The students lack of motivation and self believes.

How to develop as a reflective practitioner SMART objectives Support network
 * 7. The plan **

a) developing together? the group lunch project, promoting a reflective friendly environment for all the staff and myself

b) As a direct result of this economic downturn we are planning for further reduction of teaching hours for all classes from 21 to 18 hours, the impact this could create for the section can only be imagined but a cost limiting programme could prevent us from losing the very essence of what we aspire to therefore my first priority is to keep as much time as possible for the all team to be and interact together. group and personal development care and teaching

as a result we will have to: Cancel the "official" tutorial hour but still be available and easily reachable at designated times. Cut down the swimming time by half and start a pilot exercise where the staff and students will train on off days. Cancelled the IT modules.

c) lack of motivation or self believes? assumption? facts?

Constructionism: helping the students by having them taking charge of classes and teaching/coaching each other, using the development theories. Wang and the social context inhibit reflection: Short courses promotion and work experience in schools. Feedback caring in education
