Overview
About This Class Reflection Activity
This activity invites students to reflect on the past school year and offer advice to their teacher and school leaders that they can use to cultivate learning environments where students can thrive and find support in the year ahead. Looking back with your class on their past experiences in order to look ahead together acknowledges the expertise and experiences students bring.
When students believe that they have agency over their learning and their teacher recognizes their intelligence and expertise, they feel valued and respected. This type of student reflection activity is an important step in fostering individual student-teacher relationships, as well as a brave and reflective community of learners.
