Much of educational planning\u00a0is about reflection - what do you want to study? what skills and knowledge do you already have? what skills and knowledge do you need to develop to address academic and professional expectations? Because reflection is so important, you have time in the educational planning process to reflect, and to share the results of your reflections with your mentor.\r\n\r\n[embed]https:\/\/youtu.be\/mVE21QhY-lI[\/embed]\r\n\r\nAs appropriate, you may want to explore\u00a0all three types of thinking more fully, by reading\u00a0and doing activities related to the\u00a0competencies of\u00a0Active & Reflective Learning <\/a>(one page) and\u00a0Critical, Lateral,\u00a0&\u00a0Creative Thinking<\/a> (a section of three pages).","rendered":"
