This book examines significant developments in reflective practice, delving into research conducted with novice teachers. It fills a gap in existing literature by examining the 'how' of reflective practice. How do professionals learn reflective practice, fostering relearning? How do they guide students, mentees, and novices in adopting reflective practices? Stemming from teacher education, the focus is extended beyond this field, emphasizing the relevance of these strategies across professions. It is divided into three parts – thinking about reflection; learning to reflect; and becoming a reflective practitioner. It offers fresh perspectives on conceptualizing reflective practice and suggests practical strategies for integrating it into pre-service coursework, assessment, training, and development. Intended for academics, practitioners, and educators across disciplines, this book serves as a comprehensive guide for anyone committed to fostering reflective practice within their professional sphere.

This open access book, now in its second edition, offers a comprehensive overview of the experiences of First in Family (FiF) or first-generation students in higher education. It draws upon narratives of students and their family members and spans the entire university student life cycle (pre-entry, commencement, progression and graduation) with a focus on specific cohorts including mature-aged students, parents or carers, as well as the differentiated experiences of male and female learners. With research drawn from three major research projects and including over 650 FiF students from across all Australian states and territories, as well as Europe, this wealth of perspectives provides unique insights into the lived reality of attending university in contemporary higher education settings. The book is written for a broad audience and will appeal to those working in universities, as well as family members and students who may be contemplating participating in higher education.

“In an increasingly complex world, the false dichotomy of working and learning is becoming more apparent. Nieves, Anderson and Huntting expertly demonstrate that this new world will require a greater emphasis on equity and increasing opportunities that expand learning and working for all. The ultimate success of today’s young learner-workers will indelibly impact their life outcomes—and our shared well-being.” — Jamie Merisotis, President & CEO, Lumina Foundation, USA In this book, we witness the transformative power of work-integrated education in unlocking doors of opportunity for young people. This book serves as a roadmap for policymakers and practitioners, illuminating pathways to dismantle systemic barriers and cultivate inclusive environments where every young person can realize their potential.” — Maria Flynn, President & CEO, Jobs for the Future, USA “The chapter on Native Hawaiians is relevant and captures the essence of the contemporary Hawaiian as they deal with historical trauma but strives to survive and excel in service to their community and family in their homeland - Hawaiʻi.” — Lui Hokoana, Chancellor and CEO, University of Hawaiʻi Maui College, USA This book builds on the success of “Working to Learn" (Palgrave Macmillan, 2020) by focusing on the future of work and how young people, especially low-income young people and young people of color, are pursuing college and career goals through work-based learning experiences, yet encountering an increasingly racially and socioeconomically stratified labor market and educational system. Through policy analysis and case studies both from US and abroad, the authors will present the argument for why these models warrant revisitation, innovation, and investment, and elevate profiles of young workers, nonprofits, corporate partners, and governments today who are using work opportunities to open doors once closed.
