Self-Assessment<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

An essential component of the process is engaging students in a self-assessment of the characteristics. It is recommended that students self-assess at least twice per quarter \u2013 at midterm and again at the end of the grading period. This provides an opportunity for teachers to facilitate discussion about discrepancies and helps students set personal growth goals. These conversations engage students in the process while building student relationships and a sense of belonging. Student self-assessment is a proven timesaving method for teacher scoring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
