Chapter 8. Self-Assessment, Reflection, and Personalized Learning

"We cannot teach people anything; we can only help them discover it within themselves."

- Galileo Galilei

Self-assessment and reflection on one's strengths, and areas for improvement is a key skill to instill in our learners. In this chapter we will look at how to engage learners in effectively reflecting on their progress, and most importantly, how to advance even further.

By the end of this chapter you will be able to:

  • Create lesson activities that can provide personalized learning

  • Design blogs for learners to reflect on their understanding and learning
