The interaction between teacher (mentor) and pupil is the focus of this reflection. The students use images from the classroom practice of experienced teachers. The sessions are structured according to the framework of GRROW coaching. Students integrate in their reflection offered frames of reference that encourage the design of a powerful learning environment (pedagogy and domain specific applications). During the sessions, students actively contribute to the reflection of their fellow students by applying coaching skills (e.g. actively listening and exploring, appreciating and confirming ...).
For students with LIO statute: students with LIO statute follow reflection sessions in small groups together with other LIO-students. They analyze their experiences with professional practice in a systematic way. They succeed in integrating the offered frames of reference into their own reflection. The sessions are structured according to the framework of GRROW coaching.
