“ This commitment to ongoing reflection and improvement not only benefits individual teachers , but also contributes to a more supportive and collaborative school community .”
In conclusion , the Gibbs Reflective Cycle is not just a tool for improving teaching practice , but also a form of kindness among educators . By taking the time to reflect on their experiences , feelings , evaluations , and actions as educators , teachers demonstrate empathy towards their students , commitment towards continuous improvement , and dedication towards creating an inclusive learning environment . Through this reflective process , teachers are able to cultivate kindness in themselves , which ultimately benefits them as individuals as well as the broader school community . •
