Dimension 2.1: Student Relection

"The Teacher:

• Provides opportunities for students to self-monitor and self-correct mistakes.
• Systematically enables students to set goals for themselves and monitor their progress over time."

• Do students set goals for their own improvement?
• At regular intervals, are students writing about what they did right/wrong in a particular task - and asked to address what they would do differently to improve?
• Are students using video editing software to compile media and narrate their thoughts on a topic? (Need examples? Check out the narrated memes Dana Blackaby's students created for the Great Reading Games.
• Are students writing about what they learned in class and how it relates to life outside the classroom?
• Are students asked to make connections between the current topic and learning obtained in other subjects?
• Are students allowed to assess their performance in group work - with an emphasis on what was learned, how it was learned, areas of life where the learning applies, and ways to improve skills in an area?
• Do students receive feedback from fellow students or others besides the teacher?
• Are students reading, analyzing, and/or incorporating feedback provided in comments?
• Are students required to post entries and artifacts at regular intervals within a portfolio?
• Does the teacher, through online comments, prompt students on different or better ways they can find information?
• Does the teacher model goal setting and reflection on those goals?
