Have your students take more ownership of their learning by incorporating more and more success criteria. I created different bookmarks that students can staple their writing pieces or other assignments that will help them be more self reflective. My goal is that they monitor their own success and make changes along the way! Use these when students are working independently, but don’t forget to teach the skills first! They’re great tools for students to monitor their own learning. Movement Activities, Physical Activities, Motor Activities, Health Education, Physical Education
