Resource materials

The emphasis on continual innovation and learning in Reflect has led to the production of many different types of resources.

Practical resources:

Communication and Power is a resource pack developed with practitioners worldwide, covering a wide variety of issues, methods and practical examples of Reflect in action.

  • Communication and Power (pdf 1MB)

Reflect Mother Manual was developed to pull together best practice from the pilot projects for an audience of prospective practitioners. The manual was designed to explain the approach and enable people to adapt it to their local situation, producing their own facilitators' manuals adapted to their local social, economic, political and cultural conditions and interests.

The Reflect for ESOL Resource Pack provides practical tools and ideas for using Reflect in the teaching of English for Speakers of Other Languages in a UK context.

Evaluation of Reflect:

The Reflect Evaluations Framework provides a new evaluation mechanism in order to ensure that programme objectives and participants' own learning expectations are being met while allowing some flexibility for these to evolve or even change throughout the course of the programme.
