IB PYP Guided Reflection & Self Assessment Kit

Encourage student agency & authentic reflection and assessment with your students.

 Guiding reflection with the children helps them through the reflection process, provides a lead into the most fruitful conversations and encourages inclusive assessment practices in your classroom. This interactive digital Power Point presentation presents guiding questions to review and reinforce the IB PYP reflective thinking process. Assessment within the inquiry-based classroom focuses more on feedback and less on grades. It is an inclusive practice where the children are very much a part of monitoring and assessing their own learning and understanding. You can read more about inclusive assessment practices here, in my blog. This digital presentation allows for students to interact with the slides on screen, drag and drop to create charts and graphs, self-assessing, annotating and typing on the slides. It can be used as a whole class presentation, in small collaborative groups and for independent reflections, all designed to support their reflection and build upon their understanding of assessing themselves and their learning and understanding. Most suitable for grades 2-5.

Easy to integrate with ANY unit of inquiry or single subject, this presentation develops the children’s independence with their reflection practice, gathering evidence of their learning and understanding and can be used in goal-setting, portfolios and student-led conferences. It is presented by clicking and thus the animated slides are also controlled with each click. Pick and choose the guiding reflection questions or have the children select their own.
