Self Assessment
1.33 effect size, Hattie
"Students are given the opportunity to self-assess their work and measure it against teacher explained proficiency and benchmarks. The teachers then discusses with students the results of assessment and helps each students grasp where they are relative to proficiency goals and what is needed to get there. Finally, students are given the opportunity to apply refined understanding to another learning task to see progress. The process exists as a cycle that is repeated with frequency for ultimate benefit to the student." Bold School, Kieschnick, p. 148
Quick Tips:
Self-assesment has a beginning, middle and end that leads students to the academic goal.
Beginning- The teacher defines proficiency and how it will be measured.
Middle- Students are given some sort of self assessment opportunity, followed by a teacher- guided dialogue with students about the revelations of the assessment.
End: Students are given the chance, through some sort of learning task to apply what they have learned from the self- assessment and make improvements.
Self- assessment is continual feedback for both the teacher and student. The power is in sharing this feedback and using it to complete the cycle.
Self- assessment must be implemented with fidelity. Technology makes it super easy!
