TEACHER REFLECTION
In preparing this unit and conforming to the philosophies, pedagogical fulfilments and
curricular underpinnings it indeed created a new cognition in the importance of proper
planning and effective organisational competencies.
It indeed made me reflect on the quality of work that I previously deemed to be a good
standard now vailed by the new realisation brought forth by my new learnings. I do however
will take the initiative in elevating the quality of future documentation of this nature.
