6. Talk about how it went
Meet to talk about how the strategy from Step 4 went. Discuss and plan how you might adapt or modify your practice.
Questions to guide reflection
- What did we try?
- What happened when we did this?
- What changes did we notice in the students’ behaviour?
- What went well? What did not go as well as we hoped?
- What did we find hard to implement? Why?
- What will we do differently next time?
- Did we let the students know what we were trying to change in our practice?
- Did we model the type of responses we were expecting?
- What did we learn about our practice?
- What are we going to do next to get better at helping students develop independent learning practices?
