Reflection and self evaluation

Goal: Reflecting on our progress, learning, and next steps.

Research shows that the most important thing for learners are the questions we ask ourselves about our own learning. When do you ask yourself these questions:

• Why am I learning this?
• How will I measure my own success? 
• Who with and how might I best succeed? 
• What are my next steps?
• How am I tracking my progress? 

With those questions in mind I offer you the opportunity to reflect a bit on your own progress.
