Personal Learning Reflection
Understanding Myself as a Learner & the Strategies I Can Use for Improvement / The Individual LearnerLevel 4 / Level 5 / Level 6 / Level 7 / Level 8 / Level 9 / Level 10
I can describe things that affect my learning.
E.g.
-My understanding of what I need to do
-What I do when I get stuck
-My attention
-Where and with whom I choose to sit
-My attitude / I can give examples of the things that affect our learning as a class.
E.g.
If the learning environment is loud, it is hard to concentrate
If we are uncomfortable, it is hard to learn
If we don’t have the right equipment, it is difficult to complete learning tasks / I can talk about how positive learning behaviours affect my progress.
E.g.
Bringing all the equipment I need to class makes sure that I can get my work done and participate
Asking questions helps me understand new things
Rereading instructions checks that I have understood and remembered to do everything
Checking over my work and correcting mistakes makes sure that my work shows my teacher what I understand and reflects my best effort / The choices I make reflect how I learn best.
E.g.
I move away from distractions, so I can get my work done.
I use check lists/diary/sticky notes to keep me organised
I complete set homework and bring all the equipment I need to class
I follow teacher instructions
I check that I understand by talking about my learning with others
I proofread my work before handing it in and receiving feedback / I can explain what success looks like for me.
E.g.
I use the assessment rubrics and developmental continuums to understand what I have to do to improve
I can give examples about how I have solved problems on my own / I can plan how to reach my learning goals
E.g.
I can use my previous work &/or my pre-test to talk about what I know and what I need to learn.
I have spoken with my teacher about my next step of learning and can describe what this looks like.
When I come across problems, I revise my plan and reflect on why the problem occurred / I can make my own learning opportunities in and out of the classroom
I reflect on my class behaviour, study techniques and my learning habits. I make changes that positively impact my learning
E.g.
I can work independently at home and at school
I check my understanding by reflecting on my learning and talking with others both in person and digitally
I can have a conversation with my teachers about what strategies I will independently use and the steps that I will follow to extend my learning and complete tasks to meet standards.
I can explain how I could use my learning in the work force
Receiving & Using Feedback / I ask my teacher to check my work and talk with me about what I have done well and what I need to do to improve. / I can explain what I can do well and what I will do next time to improve my learning. / I can show how I have used feedback to improve my work. / I can give reasons for the way I presented my work and the strategies that I used.
I can explain why I chose to show particular learning behaviours. / I can talk about the things I have done that have made me be a successful learner
I can give examples showing how I have used ideas from my peers and adults to expand my ideas and the strategies I use to help me learn.
I can refer to assessment criteria and identify things that I need to do in the future that will improve my learning and improve the way I work with others / I can synthesis the feedback information that I have received across subject areas and use this knowledge to help me plan to reach my learning goals / I actively seek feedback from my teachers, peers and other adults.
I use their advice to refine my work and identify areas that I need to continue to investigate.
I can speak about my strengths, interests and weaknesses and use this understanding to map out my future pathways
I refer to assessment criteria to guide my work and to self assess. I can reflect on the way that I have managed my time and plan for future improvement.
