Rose Thorn Bud activity guides reflection

Providing students with opportunities to reflect on their learning promotes self-awareness as they identify personal accomplishments, points of confusion, and motivation to persist. Rose Thorn Bud is a simple framework that can guide learners to identify their successes, weaknesses and budding skill sets. 

The activity can be used to structure a candid classroom discussion and provide feedback for better course design. In a work setting, colleagues can engage in the activity to share positives, negatives, and opportunities for improvement as a means to reengage in productive teamwork or debrief after a project.
