After a brief and compelling exploration of why and how the human brain reflects, participants will experience and explore strategies and systems for engaging students in meaningful and varied reflection that improves performance. This is a WORKshop, so arrive ready to draft a plan for refining your approach to teaching and assessing reflection. All educators are welcome, regardless of the age of your learners.
Participants will leave this WORKshop ready to:
- Describe how and why the human brain reflects...and what this tells us about how to teach and assess reflection.
- Diagnose what's working and what needs work in the current ways we teach and assess reflection.
- Apply specific strategies for engaging students in meaningful and varied reflection.
- Access a wide range of helpful digital resources to share with colleagues and sustain the journey.
