Summary:
"Involving Students in Classroom Assessment," the sixth chapter in Davies' text, seems like an interesting topic. She suggests that involving students while making the criteria (for assignments, lessons, etc) it's easier to tell what your students know, and it gives them a chance to see what they should be learning by the end of it. Towards the end, the chapter discusses goal setting with your students, including the role of the teacher in these goals.
Response:
While reading this article, not a whole lot was jumping out at me, strangely enough. That being said, I really liked the connection to the previous chapter in the sections that discusses students collecting and presenting their evidence of learning. This shows accountability for both the student and the school, which I think is pretty neat.
We've already discussed in class that involving students in their own learning a fabulous route to take. As a teacher, laying out the base is important, but having students build up the walls of their own learning is very cool.
