An incredibly simple way to introduce metacognitive practices into your classroom is with self-assessment scales. These are one of the most versatile techniques for your toolkits.
Another way to use the poll function to prompt self-reflection is through effort or motivation levels. By requiring your own students to examine their own commitment and dedication to their learning, you can help encourage them to focus on the areas of your subject where they can improve.
It's also a great resource for parents evenings and mentor sessions.
Level them for the age and ability of your learner, and try and make the scale as easy to navigate as possible. The examples provided here however, will work perfectly as they are. A simple tool that can be placed in all of your existing content!

Simple emoji's or questions related to 'preparedness' are an easy way to introduce younger learners, or learners who haven't been exposed to much self-reflection, to start thinking about their own readiness for learning. This allows teachers to have open conversations about how they can support them, and how our learners can support themselves with self-regulation.

The scales presented here give you an idea of the type of 'honesty-box' self reflections your students will be able to starting asking themselves with a little tutoring. The scales allow you students to assign a value to the 1-10 principles based on their own comprehension of your subject area and their ability.
