Student Reflection - Learning Logs

Learning Logs help to increase the value of the learning experience by facilitating learners to make meaning out of the process they are engaged in. It enables the learners to relate the new material of learning to prior knowledge and hence a better understanding of the discipline. It also enhances the learner’s meta-cognitive awareness. Our learning logs have the intention to enable the students to be more aware of their own learning.  We will be using these and our blogs later in Term 3 as part of our student led conference.

Here are some examples of students reflections from the end of term 2 this year.

My Professional Goals for Term 3 2015

By the end of term 3 I have sufficiently supported my 4 focus students (Debbie, Tyla, Joshua and Oliver) so they can independently identify at least 5 parts of the Level 3 criteria for deeper features in their writing, so that students so they are aware of what they need to include in their work to achieve ‘at’ the writing standard.

By the start of term 3 I have provided my PRT with ideas and strategies she can apply in Room 12 so she is able to implemented restorative practice and developed her behaviour management philosophy so that I am able to meet the goals and needs of my PRT in the first 6 weeks.
