Question: What might it look like if we include students in the process of setting goals and collecting, reflecting, and curating evidence of their learning in a proficiency-based environment?

The Importance of Metacognition

Empower Metacognition (from Edutopia 11 Essentials for Excellent ePortfolios)
How can your students reflect on their work (or think about their thinking)? Are there ways to ask metacognitive questions? There are many resources on metacognition because it's so critically important to learning, and this level of reflection should be incorporated into any portfolio of student work.
For example, a writing portfolio may have students select different pieces that demonstrate how they’ve learned to use voice during the school year. As students write about how they improved in this ability, they are reflecting on how their thinking evolved. Metacognition lends itself to the process portion of the portfolio.

REFLECTION: DIGITAL TOOLS:
How many times have I been asked to reflect on a moment of intense learning after the fact, and I've cursed under my breath saying I wish I had recorded that! How can we build in routine reflection so students can start to think about learning while they are immersed in the moment, and not weeks later?
How can we use digital tools to help us easily capture those in-the-moment ahas, and then save and organize them in a way that makes retrieval later easy, when longer term synthesis makes sense? In other words, how can I capture, reflect upon, and curate artifacts of my thinking and learning so I can show evidence of growth over time?

Three Ring:
Three Ring is a fantastic, free service for digitizing and organizing your students’ physical work. With the free app installed on your iPad or iPhone you can take a picture of a student’s assignment and upload it to your Three Ring account. In your Three Ring account you can add note about the assignment for yourself, the student, and the student’s parents to see. You can create folders for each student in each of your classes. Three Ring provides a great way for teachers whose students produce a lot of handwritten, drawn, and hand-built work. Three Ring could be used by art teachers to create a digital record of each student’s work. Three Ring is also useful for mathematics teachers whose students do a lot of work on paper rather than typing as they solve problems.
