Involving Students in the Assessment Process  Much of the research suggests that there is a positive correlation between student involvement in the assessment process and student achievement. This is credited to their ability to learn how to evaluate themselves, understand expectations, and compare and contrast their learning to others. This ideology is a perfect fit with 21st century learning. Evaluation is one of the major skills required for a 21st century student. With this being said, it has proven to be a very difficult challenge for many teachers. Here are some ideas we have seen that are currently working in our classrooms, please add your expertise to this page. *Using assessment trackers with "I can........ statements"
