Self-Assessment

This page is for reflection and growth, not grading. Learners can answer by talking, drawing, circling, pointing, using AAC, dictation, or writing a few words.

Learner Scale​

  • Not yet
  • With help
  • I can do this

Environmental Systems Learner Self-Check​

I can:

  • make careful observations
  • name parts of an environmental system
  • explain how two parts are connected
  • show a cycle, flow, or cause-and-effect relationship
  • ask what might happen next
  • tell the difference between a claim, observation, opinion, evidence, and question
  • read a simple chart, map, or data table
  • ask who or what is affected by an environmental issue
  • explain one tradeoff or unintended consequence
  • check information before sharing or acting
  • suggest one realistic way to help
  • give credit for outside facts, images, data, ideas, or AI help
  • revise my thinking when I learn something new

Reflection Prompts​

  • What system do I understand better now than I did at the start?
  • What is one observation I made carefully?
  • What is one question I still want to ask?
  • What chart, map, or source felt easiest for me to understand?
  • What tradeoff or unintended consequence did I notice?
  • What is one way I changed my mind after seeing new evidence?
  • What is one realistic way to help that fits my setting?

Final Project Reflection​

Before presenting or sharing, learners can ask:

  • Did I explain the system clearly?
  • Did I name the important parts and connections?
  • Did I separate facts, observations, data, opinions, feelings, and questions?
  • Did I explain who or what is affected?
  • Did I include one tradeoff, limitation, or unintended consequence?
  • Did I give credit for outside facts, images, quotes, data, ideas, sources, or AI help?
  • Did I make my presentation readable and accessible for my audience?
  • What would I revise if I had one more try?

Facilitator Note​

If a learner marks many items as "Not yet," treat that as useful planning information rather than a problem. Choose one or two next steps, model them, and revisit the reflection later.
