Thank you for this rubric. I am asking students to reflect after a Structured Study hall, where they plan their work, use specific strategies to engage in the work, and then are asked to respond to what went well or what could go differently. I am getting "It went well" or "I was locked in" and am looking for ways to get them to focus on the specific behaviors. Because, if you cannot point to what helped you successfully focus and do the work, then when you are struggling to do so you will not know what tools to reach for. This rubric has given me some food for thought.,
Appreciate this comment! For me, I've definitely leaned on exemplars of what "precision" looks like in reflection as well as really tried to norm partner/group debriefs alongside the written reflections—where they can hear/learn from classmates. (Plus: those conversations are so ridiculously cool to listen to while strolling around the classroom.)
This is incredible and has totally made my night. Your work consistently encourages me and impresses me, and this might be your best yet - certainly the best writing on active reflection that I've seen. You combine theory and practice together in a way that makes regular reflection understood as a manageable, growable skill. I think the true key - when it comes to people being able to see themselves carrying out this work to the extent we know it needs to be if it's to succeed - is for us to contextualize it to fit a contemporary paradigm. You *might* know where I'm going with this, but maybe not, haha. You know my aim is always to think about how we can get more teachers to adapt your style/framework as foundational without feeling like they'll never fit it in.

I love this rubric!!! Speaking to my heart
This is awesome and really timely for me! I’m leaning even more into reflection this week, so I need structured approaches!
