Reflection
Supporting Change
The CaRE project outlines a process to support change and reflection towards a common goal in a community of practice, including:
Reflect to identify - Developing a common understanding of the issue and the overarching goal. What will it look like if we achieve our goal?
Reflect to plan -Drafting a possible route towards your end goal. What should the next steps towards your goal be? What obstacles might you face, and how can they be overcome?
Reflect on progress - Looking back to the reason why you thought this was a worthy area of focus. What brought you this point? How have things changed.
Tools for 21st Century Skills Assessment
21st Century Skills as essential for students in a rapidly changing world. However, we understand skills differently in different languages, cultures, and contexts. The World Cafe method can help a community of practice explore and reflect on their understandings of skills such as creativity, critical thinking, communication, and collaboration. Co-Planning and group reflection can help you achieve change in your school. The PDF and module below outline these tools.
