Reflecting on one's teaching is an important exerciseto better understand the approaches to and success towards creating inclusive classrooms.Therefore, engineering educators must become aware of reflective practices to be able to employthem in their work. We explored essential elements of highly effective reflection practices forequity-minded educators in a workshop where faculty participants learned about three reflectivepractices: (i) personal reflection, (ii) reflective engagement with colleagues, and (iii) reflectionwith
