Ways to Help Your Students Self-Assess Their Learning

Reflection. It is often over-looked when thinking about the learning process, however it plays a crucial part in student growth. Giving your learners a chance to self-assess helps them in many ways. Meta-cognition (thinking about their own thinking) helps students reach a higher level of understanding and critical thinking. It also helps kids take ownership over their own learning. As a lovely bonus, it can save the teacher time by shifting some of the assessment responsibility to the student. Win-win!
