Annotated slides for a presentation around Brookfield's four lenses of evaluation

1. Reflective Practice and Critical Evaluation Associate Teachers’ Course 27 March 09

2. Gibbs’ cycle Gibbs’ cyclical model of reviewing practice and critical incidents Unusually, this model pays attention to feelings, as powerful components of the experience Description What happened? Conclusion What else could you have done? Action Plan If it arose again, what would you do? Feelings What were you thinking and feeling? Evaluation What was good and bad about the experience? Analysis What sense can you make of the situation?

3. Brookfield’s four “lenses” There’s nothing exclusive about choosing these particular lenses or perspectives. It is their multiplicity which is important.

6. What is taught, and what is learned One tool to think about the student experience is the notion of the “hidden curriculum”
