Description¶

During the reflect step, students engage in reflections at different time scales. The guide recommends "in-the-moment" reflections such as exit tickets to capture immediate insights, alongside retrospective or future-focused reflections such as data-driven goal setting to examine the learning progression over time. This variety lets students capture both immediate insights and longer-term progression.

Design Implications¶

Context¶

Requirements¶

• Provide both immediate and retrospective reflection opportunities at each touchpoint

Constraints¶

Target Learners¶

• K-12 students

Target Learning Goals¶

• Reflection on learning progression over time
• Data-driven goal setting

Related Strategies¶

• Collect three kinds of artifacts: learning stories, wins, and lessons learned
• Identify 2-3 intentional pause points for collecting and reflecting on artifacts
• Scaffold self-evaluation against rubrics, forms, and checklists
