Students can assess their own work in several ways, including setting goals and evaluating their progress, assessing their own skills and weaknesses to improve their learning, and reflecting on work portfolio pieces. They can fill out forms describing their piece, what they learned, and how they can improve. Students also proofread their own work using a guarantee sheet checked by peers to evaluate elements like their argument, referencing, and proofreading. Allowing students to write notes for parents on their reports encourages self-assessment.
