Professionalism and Reflective practise.
In order to answer the question for this assignment I am going to discuss the ways I use reflective practise. I will compare and contrast three models of reflective practise Donald Schon, Brookfield and Kolb.

I put my learners in to groups of three, they had a list of ten facial muscles, post -it notes and a pen. This was a race to write the muscles down on the post -it notes then stick them on the chosen person of where the muscles are on the face. They had ten minutes to complete the task, once their group had finished they had to put their hand up.
