DESSA SSR: Student Reflection Worksheet (Grades 6-12)
SSR Reflection Worksheets
Overview
The Student Reflection Worksheet is a tool designed to support students in reflecting on their assessment experience and results. It encourages thoughtful self-assessment, helping students better understand their strengths, identify areas for growth, and take ownership of their learning.
By guiding students through structured reflection questions and goal-setting steps, this worksheet promotes meaningful engagement with assessment outcomes and supports the development of actionable plans for improvement. It also provides an opportunity for students to communicate insights, concerns, and goals with their teachers.
How It Works
The Student Reflection Worksheet walks students through a series of prompts to help them process their assessment experience and results:
-
Assessment Experience – Students describe what it was like to take the DESSA Assessment.
-
Emotional Reflection – Students share how they feel about their results.
-
Surprises and Insights – Students note anything that surprised them about the assessment or their outcomes.
-
Strengths Identification – Students identify areas where they performed well or demonstrated strong skills.
-
Growth Areas – Students reflect on skills they would like to improve.
-
Goal Setting – Students set a specific, meaningful goal based on their reflection.
-
Action Planning – Students outline steps they will take to achieve their goal.
-
Teacher Communication – Students share any additional thoughts, including what they want their teacher to know about their results, progress, or goals.
This structured approach helps students build self-awareness, set realistic goals, and take actionable steps toward growth.
