This paper considers how teachers can self-develop using contemplative observation. This technique, which is part of the body of contemplative education, has a clear method for use and may offer a useful way of exploring the “inner landscape” (Palmer, 1998) of a teacher. Since this is a new field, some background to contemplative education is given, followed by an explanation of contemplative observation and two examples. It is suggested that self-development can occur at a deep level by connecting inner and outer observations of the teacher, so combines professional development with general self-development. It is also suggested that this technique may be particularly useful for some in-service teachers rather than pre-service teachers, but that its use, like some other reflective techniques such as journaling, carries risks for the teacher psychologically and that it needs to be understood thoroughly and used with care.
