Reflections allow students the opportunity to think about their experiences and "get the learning out" of these experiences. Through reflection, students develop and adjust their short and long term goals, explore problems and solutions encountered during their work, and connect their experiences to their learning goals. Reflections are an important part of the feedback loop between the student and their teacher. Therefore, sharing the learning with the teacher in a timely manner, allows the teacher to offer formative guidance through timely responses to the reflection, which increases student learning.

This rubric is for reflection, reading response, or journal topics.
