When students learn to reflect on their learning using evidence, they become more engaged, self-aware, and invested in their growth. Looking for effective ways to help students use data as a tool for reflection and continuous improvement? In this course, Lauren Boucher examines practical strategies for helping students analyze evidence, recognize patterns, monitor progress, and reflect on their learning experiences. Participants will explore student-friendly routines that support self-assessment, encourage meaningful reflection, and help learners identify strengths, challenges, and opportunities for growth.By the end of this course, educators will walk away with classroom-ready resources and strategies that make reflection and progress monitoring both manageable and impactful.
