They say things along the lines of: "In English, we have partners that you swap books with and assess each other. The teacher then takes them in. I don't like that and I feel like the teacher should do it." "We sometimes assess our own work in Science - it's a waste of time." What would you do in these kinds of situations to get the students to not be as dependent on the teacher for their learning? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) I would try to come up with a goals chart for each student. I would engage them in their own learning and setting of goals to be successful. Students should be interested and involved in setting goals and self-assessing!
