Specifically, the chapter outlines in detail how novice teachers can receive instruction in how to engage in systematic and structured reflection by using a framework for reflecting on practice that has five stages or levels of reflection: philosophy of practice, principles of practice, theory of practice, practice, and beyond practice.
