Learning Readiness Reflection
Choose real or fictional examples. Skip private details; never include passwords, medical information or contact details.
Learning goal: Look back at an adjustment and decide what it taught you about your learning.
After you try a new challenge or support, reflection helps you and your teacher decide what to do next. Be honest — an adjustment that did not help is useful information too.
Your steps
- Describe the adjustment you tried.
- Rate how well it helped.
- Give evidence of your learning.
- Choose your next step.
