How do we begin creating a self-assessing student?  1.Demonstration of Expectations must be verbally given to students.  Demonstration of Expectations must be visually given to students.  Create a rubric with the students watching you and telling you what (great, proficient, star, 4) and so on.

How do you use the rubric you have created?  Hang the rubric where it can be referenced to as students work by you and the student.  Encourage the students to look at the rubric when they say they are finished.  Use language from the rubric when assessing “finished” work.

What can you make self-assessing rubrics for in your classroom?  Coloring  Writing  Reading  Sitting on the carpet  Sitting in the chair  Walking in line
