520			_aIn university teachers' hectic lives, finding space to reflect, restore, renew, and recommit can seem impossible. Jean Koh Peters and Mark Weisberg believe it is possible and have designed A Teacher's Reflection Book to help teachers and other professionals find that space. Growing out of the authors' extensive experience facilitating retreats and leading teaching and learning workshops, the book builds on their discoveries in those settings, supporting and promoting teachers' self-directed development.Both about reflection and an invitation to practice it, A Teacher's Reflection Book is a cornucopia of stories, exercises, and examples that will inspire teachers to make reflection a cornerstone of their daily lives. With its multiple suggestions and strategies, it offers something for every reader, and is responsive to teachers' needs at all stages of their careers.The book's six chapters offer readers several perspectives from which to reflect. Some sections offer glimpses of teachers in the midst of their daily teaching lives, while others step away, inviting readers to reflect on what it means to have a vocation as a teacher.The book explores how we listen, a crucial yet rarely taught skill, essential for reflecting, as well as for learning and teaching. And it invites teachers to reflect on their students: who they are, and what and how they learn. For those latter reflections, the authors turn the focus on fear, which so pervades university life and which can distort learners' and teachers' perspectives and responses. In this chapter readers will visit several classrooms and listen to the evocative voices of several thoughtful students.Revelatory, practical, and wise, A Teacher's Reflection Book is a valuable companion and guide.
