About this student self-assessment form
Self-assessment helps students take ownership of their learning. This form asks them to rate their effort, understanding, organisation and behaviour, then reflect on what they’re proud of, what was hard and what they’ll do next.
Teachers often use it before report cards or conferences, then compare it with their own evaluation; differences make for useful conversations.
What’s on the student self-assessment form
The template has 3 sections and 13 questions. Every one can be renamed, moved or deleted.
- About me: Name; Class / grade; Subject or unit; Date
- How am I doing?: I try my best. (rated Not yet to Always); I understand what we learned. (rated Not yet to Always); I finish my work on time. (rated Not yet to Always); I ask for help when I need it. (rated Not yet to Always); I work well with others. (rated Not yet to Always)
- Reflection: Something I’m proud of; Something I found hard; My goal for next time; How I will reach my goal
Tips
- Model an honest self-assessment yourself first.
- Use it at the end of a unit or term.
- Turn the goal into a student goal sheet to track it.
