Student reflection is a critical component of the learning cycle that empowers learners to evaluate their understanding and experiences. When students take the time to think about what they have learned, they can identify their strengths and areas for improvement. This process enhances their knowledge retention and fosters critical thinking and self-awareness. By reflecting on their learning, students can set personal goals and develop strategies for achieving them, leading to deeper engagement and motivation in their educational journey. During this session, we will share some of the strategies we have used in our classrooms to encourage student reflection. Please feel free to bring your thoughts, questions, and ideas about what student reflection opportunities you are considering (or are currently) implementing in your classroom.
