It is always a good idea to reflect on your learning through the TPFN programme and identify how you will use the information to develop your teaching practice or enhance teaching and learning around food and nutrition in your school.

There are two reflective documents that you could use to support your training. Remember to print them off and store them in your portfolio to evidence your learning and celebrate your success.
