Planning educators endeavor to prepare students for professional practice. Recent literature describes approaches that enhance this mission, including alternative pedagogies and teaching practice. Important to practice is relating knowledge and experience to new situations, a skill developed through reflecting on practice experiences. This article addresses efforts to integrate reflection into planning internship. The authors discuss the internship with reference to their master’s of city and regional planning program as well as internship issues and expectations. They present "thought questions" developed to implement reflection in the internship and present student responses to them.
