Self-monitor

Self-monitoring is a skill students use to keep track of their learning. 

It’s a series of assessments we make: 

1. How is the activity going?

2. What’s working and what’s not? 

2. Should I make adjustments? 

Examples:

• Rubrics to self-check requirements

• In math, kids use self-monitoring to determine the best way to tackle a problem and whether their answer seems reasonable

• Kids use self-monitoring to become better, more effective readers and ask guiding questions to self-assess their comprehension

• Teachers can also self-monitor by reflecting on their practice and making necessary adjustments
