  Case: Valuing self -assessment
Valuing self -assessment
Mrs. Lee loves using self-assessments, however, one frequent difficulty with self-assessment, when it is not really a meaningful part of learning, is that it can become repetitive and routine:‘Oh, here we go again, it's the self-assessment sheet that we do at the end of every piece of work'. She wants her students to get something out of the process for it to be valued by them. If they see self-assessment as something they are doing for the teacher, not for themselves, then it will not have any impact on how they think of themselves as learners.
What can Mrs. Lee do to make students value self assessment?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
Mrs. Lee could use the backwards model, which will allow her students to begin the self-assessment process before they actually begin the assignment. by using the backwards model, Mrs. Lee will be able to provide her students with a rubric or some form of a measurement tool that they can review the expectations for mastery prior to beginning the assignment, they can monitor their progress while working on the assignment, and they can proof their assignment before their final submission to ensure they are meeting the expectations. Once they have received their assignment grade, students can then go back and see where they missed the mark with expectations they did not meet.
