Reflecting on the ATLs

Last updated 3 years ago

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!

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?

  • 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)

  • Learner/developing - students copy others who use the skill and use the skill with scaffolding and guidance (emulation)

  • Practitioner/using - students employ the skill confidently and effectively (demonstration)

  • Expert/sharing - students can show others how to use the skill and accurately assess how effectively the skill is used (self-regulation)
