{% hint style="info" %}
It's not only important to use the skills to help students 'learning to learn', but the students must use them as a way to reflect on their learning!
{% endhint %}

The IB suggests the following questions to help students reflect:

* What are my present skills in this area and what evidence do I have of my development?
* What skills can I improve?&#x20;
* What new skills can I learn?

**Students can use the following indicators to reflect on their skill development**

* **Novice/beginning -** students are introduced to the skill, and can watch others performing it (observation)<br>
* **Learner/developing -** students copy others who use the skill and use the skill with scaffolding and guidance (emulation)<br>
* **Practitioner/using -** students employ the skill confidently and effectively (demonstration)<br>
* **Expert/sharing -** students can show others how to use the skill and accurately assess how effectively the skill is used (self-regulation)
