 |       | Just as gazing in a mirror is the only way we can clearly see the detail of our own images, reflecting on our own practice is the only way we can see our experiences clearly enough to share our learning with others. Developing these habits of reflection requires a fair amount of personal discipline and, at least for many people, the support of trusted friends, colleagues, mentors or coaches. The Commons offers the opportunity for members to reflect at four levels: personal experience and contribution; community accomplishments; community functioning; and future aspirations. Reflections 1. What habits of reflection will individual members commit to using in this phase of the communitys work? 2. What methods will you choose for reflecting on how you are doing in relationship to the communitys work plan, including purpose, intentions, field of inquiry and triggering questions? 3. What methods will you choose for reflecting on how you are doing in relationship to your agreements and commitments to one another? 4. How will your community reflect on how its experience has influenced members aspirations for the future of the communitys work together? Actions As individuals, review the information at Reflective Practices and choose at least one method of capturing your experiences and learning that you can commit to using as a member of your community. Then, review the information at After Action Review and Community Reflections. In conversation, decide as a community how you will use these or other reflective practices you know about on a regular basis. Make this decision a part of your communitys agreements and commitments document. Be sure to engage in a formal reflection, at a minimum, whenever you complete your work in one of the four work spaces. That is also the time to use reflection to share members aspirations for the next phase of the communitys work together.
