"Learners need endless feedback more than they need endless teaching" Grant Wiggins (ASCD)
Reflection is a powerful step in moving us forward: Take time to talk with your child
Reflection:
What does that mean? It is clear that the power in learning is in the action of doing the activity. Reflection provides the same power through the action of articulating thoughts. Reflection is the necessary bridge in the learning process that takes place when a student is involved and can articulate their role in learning and thus growing. Partner with your child to take ownership of reflections. Have your child reflect on their thinking, learning, and school work.
Ask your child these questions:
- What were you most proud of in your class(es)?
- Where did you encounter struggles today, and what did you do to deal with it?
- What about your thinking, learning, or work today brought you the most satisfaction?
