My Classroom New Year's Resolution: Student Reflection
As teachers we often put a lot of time and effort into our student's learning, and lose a lot of sleep over them. We may wish that our students put forth some reflection and responsibility (felt some of that urgency) on their own as well. This year, starting mid-year, I am introducing my students to a tool to do just that.The New Year is the perfect time for students to reflect, along with you, and look forward to making some changes in the second half of the year.
We get frustrated when it seems like we care so much more than our students, or when our students don't seem to take the obvious (to us) steps to reach their goal. However, they may need assistance to do so and this is where this tool comes in handy.
