eflection can occur in several ways. There are, however, important considerations when reflecting upon the improvement of music teaching with students who have learning differences. First, write strategies and thoughts down as soon as you finish teaching. Find time to sit and reflect on what just happened and how it may impact future lessons with students or the overall environment in the music classroom. Second, when finishing a long-term field placement (i.e., preservice or graduate-level practicum), take the time to reflect on the overall experience and how this influences your philosophy of music teaching. Students with differences and disabilities overcome obstacles that we often would never attempt, and their experiences in music will impact them for a lifetime. Our ability to reflect on their goals and achievements will result in stronger teaching practices.
