Assign students to revisit feedback from first half of course and reflect on their progression/strengths/areas for growth

Students can benefit from structured ways to revisit feedback they received over the first half of the course, both seeing how they have grown as well as areas where they need to continue to work. It is important for students to have structures that allow them to distill this information in a useful way.

We suggest implementing these strategies:

Due to varying school schedules and contexts, the exact timing of the critical periods will differ by school and even by class. The months provided are a guide for where teachers should be looking for experiences based on time of year.
