The Radiography Instructor

I really believe that what many of us need is more time. Time to practice, time to reflect, time to collaborate… Effective teachers and leaders should allow their students and colleagues time during their days/weeks to master their disciplines. Allowing time in class for practice provides busy students with the opportunity to ask questions, reflect on difficult concepts, and collaborate with peers. Our society is very “production” driven and we often don’t allow ourselves time to breathe, reflect, learn, and grow.

“Skills of reflection concern slowing down our own thinking processes so that we can become more aware of how we form our [assumptions] and the ways they influence our actions” (Senge, 2006).

Here’s to taking a deep breath, slowing down, reflecting on where you started, and where you are now. Keep up the great work.
