ABSTRACT

The purpose of the MBI:TLC is to support the reflective practice of MBP teachers. Reflective practice is essential to teaching MBPs with integrity; it gives space to see what the people are doing well, and to explore the inevitable ‘edges’ that arise when teaching. There are some key features to reflection: As MBP teachers the people are trained in facilitating inquiry. This domain is about both 'how' themes are conveyed, and also the 'intention' behind the themes conveyed. This chapter can be used separately for those times when it may be helpful to take some time to digest and learn from an uncomfortable or challenging teaching experience. The TLC is a tool which enables the people to reflect upon, and develop specific teaching skills. The Atkins and Murphy model is a useful basis from which to reflect on challenging teaching experiences.
