Recommendations to: Reflective account on participating in a collaborative presentation I suggest, when writing preparing this report, to consider the following
recommendations:
• Give a name to your reflective account. For this you may have a look at the
exemplary content portfolio («School-based tasks»).
• Try to answer the following questions: Why have I decided to reflect specifically
on the chosen group presentation? Why do I consider important the realization
of the ideas discussed in the group? Have I substantiated my point of view in
response to the previous two questions?
• What were my own ideas that I wanted to convey to my colleagues during the
discussion? Why did I express those ideas? What were the goals I pursued? What
did I want colleagues to learn from what I intended to say?
• Did I refer to any research evidence when stating my point of view during the
discussion? Why did I choose that literature?
• How did my colleagues respond to my ideas? What issues were discussed?
• Who was the speaker of our group? Why?
• What was the reaction of my colleagues after the presentation? What comments
did they express? What positive aspects did a my colleagues point out? What
were the recommendations? What were the questions? What feedback did we
get from our trainer? Did I agree with everything said? Why? Was the received
feedback useful? Why?
• Make a conclusion about the work done: what have you learned in the course of
work?
• Make sure that your report meets three criteria: knowledge, application, analysis
(reflection).

How and why? Have your approaches to teaching and learning changed? How
and why? Have you changed your attitude to your students? How and why? Have
there been any changes in the relationship with students’ parents? Have you made
any changes at the school level? Have the changes gone beyond your own school?
• You may use a cluster, which helps to stay focused when writing the account. For
example:
