Giving students time for reflection on their learning is so good for them: It builds their metacognitive capacity, it teaches them to take agency for their own learning, and it helps them and YOU see more clearly what they have learned and what they need next.

It's a year-long document we're calling a Learning Story. Thanks to Listenwise and EVERFI for sponsoring this episode.
