Testimonial

"I am thrilled to share my experiences with Angela and Reflective Educators HQ. Angela has been an invaluable asset to our service, playing a vital role in the development and implementation of our critical reflection and quality improvement systems since our service's inception in 2018. Since integrating Angela's systematic and holistic approaches to critical reflection, our reflective practices have experienced remarkable growth and improvement. 

The Reflective Educators HQ online modules and resources provided by Angela have become an integral part of our regular professional development sessions. Our educators completed the first module, 'What is Deep and Meaningful Critical Reflection?' and one of the most significant impacts I have observed is the increased confidence among our educators in sharing their ideas and insights. Angela's module has empowered them to delve deeper into their practices, encouraging them to critically analyse their methods and align them with best practices. This newfound confidence has created a more vibrant and collaborative environment, where educators actively contribute to the continuous improvement of our service.

Angela's expertise, combined with the engaging and accessible nature of the modules, has made it easier for our educators to access the knowledge and skills they need to grow and excel in their roles. We are proud to have achieved our Exceeding rating and to have Angela working with us towards Excellence. Thank you, Angela, for your dedication, expertise, and commitment to empowering educators through deep and meaningful critical reflection!"
