OVERVIEW OF THE INSTITUTE FOR REFLECTIVE PRACTICE

OVERVIEW OF THE INSTITUTE FOR REFLECTIVE PRACTICE

The mission of the Institute for Reflective Practice is to mentor practitioners to engage experience as reflective scholars, develop practitioners to become community engaged scholars, and prepare practitioners to analyze problems as interdisciplinary and integrative scholars. Our target audience is practitioners from any industry, but we have a special focus on academics, specifically, faculty, staff, and students in higher education. If you are interested in joining the institute, please see information on OUR MEMBERSHIP PAGE.

There are three distinct activities in which members of the institute engage:

  • Mentoring: Mentoring interested participants and stakeholders in the fundamentals of reflective practice, community engagement, and interdisciplinary inquiry.
  • Scholarship: Active involvement in the development of writing guides; exploring the theoretical foundations for reflective practice, community engagement, and interdisciplinary inquiry; and conducting empirical inquiry.
  • Professional Development: Facilitating reflective writing retreats for colleges and universities, private corporations, and governmental agencies to enhance their understanding of reflective practice, community engagement, and interdisciplinary inquiry.
