Introductie

This lesson is about reflecting on the progress made over the year. It's designed to work for a range of ages and qualifications, but it's a simple process if you want to rewrite it to suit your particular subject. As it is by default, it's designed to be open and suit lots of potential subjects. This lesson is very much about student feedback and reflection, and the type of activities support that.

Reflecting on Progress

Hello and welcome to this lesson on reflecting on progress. It's been built around the idea of targets being set earlier in the year, but the lesson can be altered very easily. The slides here are actually quite simple despite the appearnance of the animations. The lesson is very learner content focused.

What's been your proudest achievement over the last year?

This is a positive starter to get the lesson launched.

By the end of the lesson you will be able to:

• Reflect on your progress this year

• Plan your next steps

Don't remember making any targets!

A quick poll to refer back to targets set at the start of the academic year.

Why did you set yourself those targets at the start of the year?

If you didn't have a target what do you wish you had aimed for this year?

This open question is intended as a deeper dive into the reasoning behind the targets. The secondary question should scoop up those who say 'I didnt make a target'!

To what extent do you feel you achieved your targets? If you didn't set targets how are going to make sure you set some?
