Assessment
Capable Learners
Who are Assessment Capable Learners?
Students who:
know the learning target for the
lesson
can describe where they are in
relation to the criteria
use that information to select
learning strategies to
improve their work
How can I
bridge
the gap?
Benefits
When students self-assess
regularly, track and share
their progress, their
confidence as learners
grows. Their motivation to
do well increases as does
their achievement.
