Reflection is widely used for professional recognition and also seen as valuable for professional development. Being able to reflect deeply requires skill to step back from what is occurring to consider beyond ‘what’ happened to why it happened and in Senge’s (2006) view develop the skills of a learning organisation. In this session we will share our experiences of Co-generative dialogues. In these structured conversations each participant has equal voice. Alternating between speaking, listening attentively to one another, and valuing diverse perspectives (Hsu, 2021). This type of reflection values the principles of equity, respect, and inclusion as foundational to sense making. We explore how these deeply reflective accounts come together in a democratic space softening the traditional hierarchies (Tobin, 2008). Working in groups, dyads or triads can foster collective responsibility for improvements (Martin, 2006). In this session, we will provide the opportunity to experience a co-generative dialogue to foster reflection that moves beyond what to why, and more importantly shape learning for the future.
