You will find the options for risktaker/courageous and thinker/global thinker as well as daily goals and weekly goals. You can find a chart for daily and also weekly goals. There are multiple uses for this chart or poster.
PYP Exhibition: I originally designed this as a tool to keep track of my grade 5 Exhibition students. Within the Exhibition, we have groups working together and they each have to reflect on their daily experience through this 6 week journey. Our focus was on the attributes of being a learner throughout this Exhibition. This chart allowed me to keep track of the Learner Profile goals that the children were focusing on for that day. I could then observe their actions, confer with them about how they were putting this attribute into practice, assist them with their reflections and monitor their progress. If you are looking for guidance through the PYP Exhibition, you can read this article here, with videos to help.
You may also be interested in my resources that support and guide through every step of the Exhibition. Take a look here.
Reflection Journals: Since then, I have used it as part of our daily reflection journals. These journals consist of short reflection activities that all focus on skills related to each of the Learner Profile attributes. Once I had modelled the routine of daily reflection and the expectations, the children were then able to choose their own daily reflection from their journal. This chart allowed me to follow which attribute the kids were choosing for their focus for that day/week.
With the same intentions as above, I was more able to follow up, support, monitor and offer feedback with the children as to their progress.
I now have those Reflection Journals for each level of learners: Early Years, Little Kids and Big Kids. Just click the links to explore further.
Exit Slips Reflection: This chart offered the children a place to add their voice with regards to quick reflections at the end of a day, at the end of an activity or the beginning of a day. We then used those exit slip reflections as prompts for our morning meetings/end of the day pow-wows, guided group conferences etc.
