Work on Purpose - Critical Reflection “I learned that” …

• Express an important learning from the readings, not just a statement of fact

• Provide a clear and correct explanation of the concept(s) in question so that someone not in the experience could understand it.

• Explain your enhanced understanding of the concept(s), as a result of reflection on the experience

• Be expressed in general terms, not just in the context of the experience (so that the learning can be applied more broadly to other experiences)

“I learned this when” ….

• Connect the learning to specific activities that gave rise to it, making clear what happened in the context of that experience so that someone who wasn’t there could understand it.

“This learning matters because” …

• Consider how the learning has value, both in terms of this situation and in broader terms, such as other organizations, communities, activities, issues, professional goals, courses, etc.

“In light of this learning” …

• Set specific and assessable goals ; consider the benefits and challenges involved in fulfilling them

• Tie back clearly to the original learning statement.
