We targeted two learning objectives this week: life-long learning, metacognitive reflection, accessing welling tools, and social-emotional skills. For each of the learning goals, write a few sentences as to how this week’s material has helped you progress toward meeting those learning objectives. The four learning goal descriptions are as follows:
Lifelong Learning: Students practice skills and attitudes central to lifelong learning; including a growth mindset that encompasses self-reflection, flexibility, intellectual curiosity, and considers broad perspectives and diversity of thought.
Metacognitive Reflection and Application: Students reflect on their own wellbeing in the context of the course topic and develop metacognitive reflection abilities that work to promote transfer of wellness behaviors and skills.
