Welcome to the Learn, Play, Thrive podcast, the ultimate early learning platform for educators and leaders. In today's episode, we dive into part one of 'Expanding Your Critical Reflection Toolbox' with Dr. Angela Andonopoulos, an esteemed educational consultant, researcher, and founder of Reflective Educators HQ.

She explains why critical reflection is crucial for driving quality improvement and intentional teaching, and provides practical tools and resources for educators to integrate reflective practices into their routines. Additionally, we explore the challenges educators face with critical reflection, and Angela provides strategies to overcome these barriers by embedding reflection into daily practice, utilising team strengths, and fostering a culture of continuous professional development.
