Planning, Monitoring & Adjusting

try-and-see+1 more

When something doesn't work, I can try a different way, and what I notice about what happened tells me what to try next.

I can complete a rubric-assessed task in which I try something, say what happened, and try a different way if needed.

simple plans (what, in what order)+2 more

Planning is thinking ahead and checking is thinking during, and both belong to the work rather than being extra to it.

I can complete a rubric-assessed task in which I make a simple plan, check during, and switch approach if I get stuck.

goal-directed plans+2 more

A plan is provisional, and adjusting it as I go isn't failing — it's responding to what I'm learning.

I can complete a rubric-assessed task in which I plan with a goal in mind, check progress at meaningful points, and adjust strategy when needed.

success criteria+2 more

A plan without success criteria is hard to monitor against, and adjustments that come from what I've noticed work better than random ones.

I can complete a rubric-assessed task in which I plan with goal and success criteria, monitor against them, and adjust strategy with reasons.

Zimmerman's SRL cycle (forethought, performance, self-reflection)+2 more

A long-running plan can fail slowly in ways a short one can't, so building in review points is part of the plan rather than extra to it.

I can complete a rubric-assessed task in which I plan across a unit or project timescale with milestones, track progress over time, and revise the approach when needed.

cycle adaptation by task type (open vs closed; high-stakes vs low-stakes; collaborative vs solo)+1 more

Independence in this work means choosing the right version of plan-monitor-adjust for the task, not just running a default form.

I can complete a rubric-assessed task in which I run the plan-monitor-adjust cycle independently on a novel task and explain why this version of the cycle fits.
