Abstract
I am a school-based teacher educator, working for a conglomerate of 23 schools for primary education. Together with my colleagues, I am the linking pin between several teacher education institutions that send their students to our schools for their traineeships, the subject teachers who are the students’ mentors, and the students themselves. Our task is to calibrate the curricula of the different teacher education institutions with our schools and to coach mentors and students.
“Thank you for the tips you gave me”. This is a remark that I often come across in the reports that students write about the reflection meetings I have with them. Of course this is nice to read, but it also made me thinking about the reflective talks I have with students who spend their traineeship in my schools. How do I conduct these talks? Do I ask the right questions, do I stimulate reflection, and when I give tips, what characterizes them?
