Student Reflections

Reflective practice is a key component of experiential learning and professional development. Through reflection, we understand our strengths, weaknesses, thoughts, and behaviours. When we reflect on our experiences, we assign meaning to them, and from that process, we can develop best practices; recognize, hone, and expand our skills and professionalism; and plan and prepare for the future.

For Arts & Humanities students, reflection is especially important to identify the soft skills they are developing and understand how those skills can be applied in the working world.

Every SASAH student submits reflections and reports as their EL opportunities are ongoing. Click on the links below to read a few longer-form student reflections.
