21st Century Skills | Reflection and Evaluation Rubrics

The seven Reflection and Evaluation rubrics are designed for teachers and their students to use at the beginning of a lesson design and again at the end of the lesson cycle to evaluate the progress becoming a student-centered and student engaged classroom.  As teachers select content and choose the best learner outcomes for a lesson, teachers engage in reflection about where they are in the process of teaching and preparation to engage students.  Teachers then have students do the same.  Each rubric supports the growth of a student-centered classroom where students become more engaged in the learning process.
