A Bundle of Assessment & Reflection Tools for the IB PYP

Within assessment & on-going reflection in the IB PYP and any student led, inquiry based classroom the main thing that we want to keep AS the main thing, is that inclusive assessment is all about involving the children in the practice of setting success criteria- monitoring progress – evidencing learning – setting goals – and co-planning next steps. This involves a whole lot of reflective thinking, conversations that produce feedback and acting upon that feedback. For your grade 2-grade 5 students, I have the perfect solution!

This bundle of my best selling reflection & goal setting resources offers just that: space for the children to add their voice to the process of inclusive assessment as they tune into the inquiry, reflect on their progressive understanding and development and finally, post assessment. With so many differentiated materials, it is so easy to reach every student!

These resources will be the perfect addition to your classroom as the bring the inquiry process together through pre-assessing background knowledge, setting learning goals and provide a fabulous guidance to really bring depth to those reflection questions, avoiding the same old-same old regurgitated responses.

Use them with:

• Tuning into the inquiry
• On-going unit reflections
• Self/Peer assessment
• End of unit reflections
• Portfolios
• Goal setting for any curricular area
• Reflection of Learner Profile, IB Attitudes and Skills used.
• Student Led Conferences

Created during my distance learning experience, this interactive digital Power Point presentation presents guiding questions to review and reinforce the IB PYP reflective thinking process.

It is an inclusive practice where the children are very much a part of monitoring and assessing their own learning and understanding.
