some examples: critically evaluating websites; visible thinking routines for self assessment (informal and anecdotal) to gather student understanding of key concepts, main ideas et al. Student work to see if they have included ATL skills - following the process of their learning (journals). Using technology e.g. Google Suite to reflect and show their learning.
Reflect on the impact these strategies have had on student learning—what evidence do you have to
support this?
student reflection, peer assessment, video recordings including apps such as Explain Everything, students transfer the context of their learning to unit of inquiry/research/PYP Exhibition; staff feedback ....
Using technology for individual, peer or group reflection e.g. Google Suites, or visual tools such as Coggle, creating infographics etc.
