contribution for experienced teachers especially from the perspective of reflective practice and reflective practitioner (Goodwyn, 1997). Veterans need to be and become reflective practitioners in order to be true and good models for others, and to be so, mentoring is an important means for them (Goodwyn, 1997). For them, the interaction with prospective teachers, novices, or among themselves is an excellent stimulus for reflection: helps them to look afresh at the familiar features of the classroom
In the academic context, ‘reflection’ is defined as; “a generic term for those intellectual and affective activities in which individuals engage to explore their experiences in order to lead to new understandings and appreciations. It may take place in isolation or in association with others. It can be done well or badly, successfully or unsuccessfully.” (Boud, Keogh and Walker, 1985, p 19) Needless to say, engaging in reflection at an academic level is more than merely passively remembering and
Collective diary keeping. This form of diary keeping involves a collaboration by a group of teachers in writing journals (Richards, 1995; Xu, 2009). Collaborative diary keeping has been found to be instrumental in developing a critical reflection on teaching (Xu, 2009). Studies conducted on collaborative diary keeping have associated the same practice with several benefits to self-development among second language teachers (Orem, 2001; Richards, 1995; Xu, 2009).

In the world today, it is a matter of record that there have been more men presidents and even prime ministers than women. Across the globe, feminist movements are calling on governments to adopt inclusivity in key government appointments, and include more women in public leadership. Most governments have gone further and adopted resolutions that dictate the
