Goal-directed reflection (GDR) is a strategy that targets the contemplative examination of specific aspects of teaching. The GDR process can be used by a PETE program that uses a systematic approach to supervision. The process consists of identifying specific teaching behaviors, aligning these target behaviors with Praxis III/Pathwise domains, collecting and analyzing data to determine the achievement of goals, and setting new teaching goals. The candidates benefit from a focus on specific teaching behaviors and from the feedback they receive when they meet their goals. Goal-directed reflection creates a shared language and consistent message throughout the teacher preparation program, and it helps the teacher candidate to achieve programmatic expectations as well as demonstrate local, state, and national standards for beginning teachers.
