2e Professional Learning Reflection Guide
Use fictional examples. Leave out diagnoses, medical information, names, passwords and contact details.
Learning goal: Reflect on instructional assumptions and plan a practical improvement.
A team notices that response speed has been treated as understanding. Identify an assumption, examine de-identified evidence and choose one access-preserving instructional change. Use a fictional or de-identified example here; the learner controls what to share.
- Use a fictional example or discuss the situation without identifying a child.
- Complete each planning section with the learner’s choices at the center.
- Select one feasible change, who will provide it and when you will check it.
- Keep any completed paper privately; do not use it to diagnose, rank or label a learner.
Grades 3–5 support: Use the prompts and examples, or explain your ideas in your own way. Ask for words, a scribe or one direction at a time.

Review and keep it respectful
Professional reflection is not diagnostic assessment or a compliance verdict; review with relevant specialists. Decide how you will check the support with the learner, not just compliance or speed.
Evidence of access or participation to look for
Review question and next adjustment

Specialist formats
These printouts are not Braille. Embossed Braille and specialist tactile materials need qualified, technically validated production. The accessible digital version supplies structured text, not a specialist-format substitute.
