“Thank you for coming to my presentation of learning. I am the expert on my own learning. I am also responsible and accountable for my own learning. You can expect me to give an honest evaluation of my progress. We will discuss my strengths and opportunities for growth. Thank you in advance for listening and for offering feedback that I can use to improve as a learner.”
Why am I ready to advance to the next grade?
This year I have learned a lot, but in this presentation I will focus on three competencies I feel have improved this year and why this makes me a qualified learner for next year.
Self-Regulation:
During this project, I started a zettelkasten which has helped me remember ideas and focus on school more as well as keep me on track throughout other learning experiences.

Communication and Collaboration:
During this project I worked in a group setting for a majority of it, and I found it improved my connections with other students in the class as well as my collaboration skills.

Agency:
My evidence of improvement here is from the Great Debaters project that we completed at the start of the year. During this project, my work underwent LOTS of critique and I learned how to accept and apply critique much better.
