A few years ago I began attaching this post-test reflection sheet to all of my graded tests. I assigned them as homework for my students to fill out and then get signed by their parents.
This was a game-changer.
Not only did I begin to get more effort (and therefore more achievement) out of my students, but I also got parents more involved and created one more layer of communication throughout the school year with them (which they seem to really appreciate).
If you aren’t already doing something like this with your students, download this resource and begin using it as early as tomorrow. The file provided can easily be edited to your liking (it is in Microsoft Word format) or you can simply print it as you see it.
