A4) reflection is the crucial component to teach independent, autonomous learners. It gives Ss power over their learning.

Q5 clarification I hope to chat modeling here. We can provide pathways (blogs, etc) how do we teach what reflection “looks like”?

I am under the assumption that not all students are intrinsically “reflective”… HMW effectively teach that skill?

A5 Will say it again, but also apply it to Ts and Admins - we are not all naturally reflective. It's worth teaching specifically.
