Starting Blocks - the guide to early education and care for new parents and families
Developing a culture of reflective practice

- reflecting on your own personal biases
- examining and rethinking your perspectives
- questioning whether your perspectives generalise
- considering all aspects of experiences
- engaging in professional conversations with colleagues, families, professionals and community members
- using the reflective questions in the learning frameworks to prompt your thinking, for example ‘Who is advantaged when I work in this way? Who is disadvantaged?’ (Early Years Learning Framework, page 13)
