REFLECTION

Students are individuals who learn at different rates and in different ways. These individual differences may influence how students
respond to instruction and how they demonstrate what they know, understand and can do. Individual differences may include:

cognitive abilities, including students current level of understanding and ability in relation to a particular topic or skill

prior learning experiences

learning styles and preferences

motivation and engagement with learning

interests and talents.

Students actively participate in inquiry learning experiences by developing questions and investigating to find solutions. Teachers
facilitate learning as students engage in active problem solving, the construction of meaning and the communication of new
understandings to students, teachers or other important adults.
