This document discusses communities of practice and reflective practice in teaching. It begins with a poll asking about participation in communities of practice. It then defines communities of practice as groups that share interests and learn from each other through regular interaction. The document discusses four lenses for reflective practice: autobiographical experiences, student perspectives, colleagues' experiences, and literature. It emphasizes continually shaping teaching environments and one's own learning through connection, reflection, and practice improvement. Strategies for engaging students are discussed. The benefits of communities of practice are outlined as sharing, learning together, and advancing practices collectively. Success is indicated by a shared identity and investments in the community.
