Summary:

In our society we are called upon to fill many roles-- and are increasingly called upon to bifurcate our experiences. Unfortunately we do not have a switch so that we can turn off our personal issues while at work, or our professional issues at home. Reale feels that reflection as both a personal and pedagogical practices has become more important. Her guide is intended to provide a start on your journey toward reflection, both as a librarian and as a teacher.
