The CONTEXTS Framework -Reflecting Tool

The CONTEXTS Framework — Reflective Tool

Overview

The CONTEXTS Framework is a structured reflective practice resource for practitioners working with situations that feel complex, unclear, or stuck. If you’ve already explored the Framework on my website, this digital version provides the complete set of materials: the process diagram, the colour‑coded reflective cards, and the accompanying guides that support deeper analysis.

What the resource includes

• Framework diagram Charts the reflective process from situation and context through reflection, emerging understanding, and action.
• 32 colour‑coded reflective cards 384 reflective questions across eight lenses and four levels of inquiry, designed to widen perspective and deepen analysis.
• Quick start guide A concise introduction with self‑directed learning exercises to help you begin using the resource immediately.
• Practitioner guide A comprehensive overview of the reflective practice framework, including boundaries, applications, and examples.

How the resource works

The diagram provides the structure of the reflective process, helping you map what is shaping a situation. The cards then support deeper reflective analysis, offering prompts that help you explore perspectives, influences, relationships, pressures, assumptions, and patterns. Together, they create a coherent, flexible way to work with complexity without rushing to solutions.
