| Scurta descriere:
Reflective practices provide invaluable metacognition for students. Our weekly live classes allow students multiple opportunities to reflect on their learning whether they attend live or watch the recording through a live class assignment. In our program, we incorporate regular reflections at mid-quarter, so twice each semester, asking our students about their progress in their course, their learning, and what is and isn’t working for them. In addition, we continue to build out checks for understanding that allow students to verify their comprehension with low or no stakes. Surveys and rankings of skills prior to new tasks help students evaluate areas of strength and weakness, and these are built into course content or shared in the live classroom setting. We have woven reflection throughout our entire program, from what they are learning at the very beginning of their course about how to be an online learner to end of semester or year evaluations in authentic assessments.
