Personal Learning Plans

Questions to ask yourself as you reflect on this week's learning:

  • What was taught this week that challenged me to think deeply?
  • What happened in class this week that made me keep trying?
  • What did I learn from these situations?
  • What mistake did I make that taught me something?
  • What situations were you in that required you to be a problem solver this week?

Questions to ask yourself as you begin your goal setting for next week:

  • What strategy will I use next time to prevent this mistake from happening?
  • How will I challenge myself next week?
  • What will I do next week to improve my work?


Maintain a Growth Mindset
Instead of:                            Try:
This is too hard.                   This may take some time and effort.
I just can't do math.              I'm going to train my brain in math.
I made a mistake.                 Mistakes help me learn better.


Keep these subjects in mind when adding reflections and goals to your website!
