Reflection
Reflection isn’t a final step.
It’s a lens we teach through.
The Shift
What we notice
changes what we know.
Reflection isn’t just about reviewing—it’s about noticing.
Noticing how our thinking shifted, where we hesitated,
and what we might do next.
When we reflect with AI, we’re not just asking
“Was it right?”
We’re asking: What changed in my thinking?
What did I learn about myself as a thinker?
AI gives us something rare in learning: space to pause, process, and
re-see how we arrived at what we know.
The Shift In Practice
Reflecting with AI means slowing down—
not to judge the outcome,
but to understand the thinking that led there.
It’s about noticing what shifted,
what surprised you,
and what might change next time.
When we reflect out loud, we model something powerful—
that learning isn’t over when the work is done.
It deepens when we take the time to look again.
This shift is about moving from:
Finishing the task → Understanding the thinking
Focusing on correctness → Focusing on growth
Reflecting silently → Reflecting out loud
Looking Back to Learn More
These small shifts move us from seeking closure to noticing growth—
from finishing the task to learning from how we did it.
From Using AI To Thinking With AI
Was this right or wrong? → What does this tell me about how I thought?
This makes sense now. → What did it take for me to really understand it?
Check my final answer.→ Check my reasoning—where did it shift?
Tell me if this is correct. → Tell me what this reveals about how I approached the task.
I asked for feedback. → What insight did I gain about how I learn?
Ready to Rethink Your Own Prompt?
Pause + Process: Rethink Your Prompt
Reflection doesn’t just happen at the end.
Try reshaping a prompt to slow down
and take a second look—
one that makes space for growth, not just completion.
“Help me rewrite this prompt to focus on reflection—not just results.”
"Where did I struggle, and what did I learn from it?"
"How did my first idea shift by the end?"
"What do I see now that I didn’t see at the beginning?"
"What blind spot got clearer through this process?"
Reflection isn’t a step we add on.
It’s where the learning settles in.
