Maximizing Self-Reflections in the Classroom

What if we could guide children to self-reflect on their level of understanding, to learn what concepts they truly grasp andto identify thoseconcepts with which they still struggle-before and after being assessed on these concepts? What if they could take this information and produce a plan to help themselves master material before an assessment? This practical book will enable you to work with students more effectively so they can evaluate their own levels of understanding, and determine strategies to get them from where they are academically to where they need to be. You'll also find out how to involve families, since self-reflection works better when students, teachers, andfamilies partner in the learning process. Appropriate forK-8 teachers and curriculum coordinators, the book isperfect for teamwide book studies and teacher training.Examples are included throughout, and the appendix tools can be downloaded for classroom use.
