Reflection Rubrics

• Reflective learning is a key component of the planning-teaching-assessment cycle.
• Research shows the best 'reflectors' are the best goal-setters and best learners.
• Through sharing ideas, insights and knowledge - and then having the opportunity to revisit and revise work - students move to new levels of awareness and learning.
• Some children will come to school as intuitive reflective learners and others come with the need for 'everyday' experience with reflection.
• Reflective learning opportunities are provided throughout the MTSonline database in both the student activity sheets (as rubrics) and the associated Teacher's Notes (as reflective learning questions).
• The Reflective Rubric attachments below also provide teachers with a number of other reflective learning opportunities to use as required.
• Rubrics 1-11 are ideal for opening as a pdf and using via an electronic whiteboard.

Journal Writing and Reflection

• Journal writing is another form of reflective learning and should be common practice at all levels.
• It is a good idea to model journal writing as you would any other writing style.
• A range of journal writing 'starters' and journal proformas have been provided on the attachment below to assist with this task.
