#8 Ways to incorporate reflection of learning/growth

When taking steps to grow as a teacher and improve on the goals I have set for myself,  I looked into age appropriate resources and ways to have my students reflect on their learning and overall understanding.  I like how all the visuals below, can be adjusted to accommodate different learners.  For example, at the end of the day if I want my students to complete the  "Ticket out the door" handout, I could have students either draw a picture of something they learned throughout our day or write words describing something they learned.  The Weekly Reflection handout offers students the ability to draw pictures for different subject areas and write about a favorite part of the week, a goal, and something they want their teacher to know.  Again I think I would adjust these subject areas to personalize it more and maybe even have a social area for students to reflect upon.  The very first visual using the hand symbols is a quick way for me to check for student understanding.  I often ask for thumbs up or thumbs down, but I like how this seems to be specific to content.  This would be a helpful check in to use when guiding instruction or when pairing up students to work together.
