Student Reflection: Bite-Size Strategies to Foster Metacognition

About

How do we help students become active, self-aware learners without taking up substantial class time? In this 30-minute session, we will explore quick metacognitive reflection strategies that help students assess their own learning progress. You will leave with ready-to-use ideas, including activities for the last day of class. We will discuss practical tips to keep reflection exercises fresh, meaningful, and free of “reflection fatigue” for both you and your students.
