As part of our push to try and reflect on our learning, we’ve been doing #FlashbackFriday for a few weeks now. It’s been great to really focus on what crew members have been learning and reflect purposefully on our learning each week.
I particularly liked how April focused on character growth and life skills in this week’s #FlashbackFriday; and Denim’s focus on really important social skills.
The task is simple: share one specific thing you have learnt (in or out of school) in the last week.
Yet, the purpose is much more powerful.
It’s important to ensure we focus on what we’ve learnt to identify our strengths and areas for improvement, but also to make sure we begin to move the things we’ve learnt into our long-term memory, from our short-term memory.
This week we added a self-critique of HOWLs to keep us focused on our own progress each week and reflect on HOW we learn.
Lots more to come on this! Keep reflecting Crew Shackleton!
