A planning grid connects three moments to their questions and records: before learning choose a demonstrable target, during learning check understanding with an attempt, after learning compare the result with the target and revise the plan.
Planning, monitoring and evaluating link a learning goal to observable work. This conceptual planning sheet makes the article’s progress tracking usable before the final assessment. Original diagram based on University of Iowa, Academic Support and Retention, Metacognition Made Easy: Incorporating Planning, Monitoring, and Evaluating.
