The goal of this self-assessment is similar to Hellison’s Model for Teaching Personal and Social Responsibility. We want kids to take responsibility for what they say and do in our classes. The easiest way to check and make sure kids understand where they stand is to have them do a self-assessment.
It’s also a great tool for teachers to recognize when a student might have a lower self-perception than they should – this is a great opportunity for the teacher to have a conversation and encourage them.
Acknowledge personal responsibility by using equipment and space safely and appropriately while following the rules and boundaries of the learning environment.
Practice skills with minimal teacher prompting and accept responsibility for behavior and performance actions to ensure a safe environment.
