  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 develop a page in which students graph their progress in order to track their progress. This might provide the opportunity for the students to visually see how they are doing and assess the areas they need to work on. Also, I would suggest Mrs. Lee discuss with the students how their self assessment can guide their learning and provide them with specific activities in which their self assessment directly influenced a task they did in class.
