Students Grading Themselves

Provide your students with a blank copy of the report card and have them fill out the report card to evaluate themselves.

This includes all grades and comments.

When reviewing the student created report card and the teacher's final report card, more often then not, the students were tougher on themselves then the teacher.

Students learn to self evaluate and take more ownership of their own learning.

They become realistic judges of their own effort and performance.

This is a great way to create self learners that can reflect on their own work and improve.
