Student Progress Checklist and Reflection for Grade 5
By Lyndsey Q.
A self-assessment and teacher-tracking checklist for 5th graders, organized around six General Learner Outcomes (self-direction, collaboration, complex thinking, quality work, communication, and ethical technology use). Students mark Glows and Grows each reporting period, building self-awareness and goal-setting habits across the school year.
Customize for your classroom
Teacher Guide & Tips
- Use at the start or end of each reporting period (Q1 through Q4) as a structured conversation starter during student-teacher goal conferences, roughly 15 to 20 minutes per student.
- Discussion question: Which of your Glows took the most effort to build, and what one Grow do you want to focus on before the next reporting period?
- Scaffold for struggling readers: Read each statement aloud or pair the checklist with a partner, and model one example of a Glow and a Grow from your own work before students complete it independently.
- Extension for advanced students: Ask them to write a short SMART goal tied to one Grow, including a measurable target and a date for checking progress.
- Estimated time: About 20 minutes to complete the full checklist, plus additional time for reflection and goal planning.
