Student Self Assessment● Student Self-assessments are a way of encouraging children to evaluate and assess their own learning. It's similar to peer-assessment but instead of giving feedback to a partner, pupils give feedback to themselves. ● The advantage of teaching children how to self-assess their work is that they have to think about what they've done well and what they could do better next time.● Student Self-assessments encourage pupils to reflect and look at where they went wrong in order to help them improve for the future. Not only that, it’s a fantastic way to encourage children to improve their own efforts and empower them to take control of their own learning.● You will find our Social Studies and Science Student Self Assessments on the Curriculum Warehouse page.
