Slide 25
Learning Through Reflection A defining condition of being human
is that we have to understand the meaning of our experience. ~Jack
Mezirow 24
Slide 26
Students Reflections: enhance the meaning of experiences. help
with insights and complex learning. occur alone but are also
enhanced when done with others. draw cognitive and emotional
information from several sources: visual, auditory, kinesthetic,
and tactile. apply to contexts beyond the situation in which
learning occurred. 25
Slide 27

How Do I Get My Students to Reflect on their Learning? Making
Reflection Relevant For student reflection to be meaningful, it
must be: metacognitive applicable shared with others Top-Notch
Teaching Website 27
Slide 29
An Awareness of Our Own Processes as We Complete Them
Metacognitive Reflection 28
Slide 30
Applicable After-the-fact reflection often dominates the
reflection process. By giving students the big picture of learning
(structure), students have a framework for assessing how past
performance will influence future work. Reflection then has purpose
with students -- know where they are going so they can improve the
journey. 29
Slide 31
Sharing Once a classroom becomes a safe place the classroom can
become a collective support instead of individual competition. By
sharing reflections, students can both advise and seek help.
Sharing achievements helps those who have struggled with a task.
Sharing weak spots helps students troubleshoot as they work through
a problem set. 30
Slide 32
Using The Digital Connection to Help Reflections to be
Meaningful Metacognition: Keep a log of tasks and habits.
Applicable/Documentation: Helps students reflect on past
performance so they can improve. Sharing: Can be instantaneous when
material is available online. 31

Slide 35
Coaching Opportunity: Candidate Year-End Reflection A recent
study released from Harvard Business School reconfirms what John
Dewey said long ago: We do not learn from experience, we learn from
reflecting on experience. What can we learn about our experience
without the use of reflection? 34
Slide 36
Prepare for Caf Experience Please pack up all belongings and
clear your tables. Take a 10 minute break and come back to visit

Follow effective action with quiet reflection. From the quiet
reflection will come even more effective action. Peter Drucker

Slide 38
World Caf A good question is never answered. It is not a bolt
to be tightened into place but a seed to be planted and to bear
more seed toward the hope of greening the landscape of ideas. John
Ciardi Use the prompts on each table menu to provide your feedback
about the CTI Induction program. Have someone at your table capture
the table consensus on the menu order form. 37
