What Learning Looks Like in GATES
Before the lesson, each grade level brainstormed what critical thinking, creative thinking, research skills and independent learning looks like in the GATES classroom.
The students had some good ideas... We will continue to add to these lists as the students come up with new ways to show evidence of their learning.

At the end of the lesson, I asked the student to reflect by answering this question.
