Lesson Self-Assessment

At the end of each lesson or unit, teachers may ask learners to reflect on their learning. This helps learners become more proactive as they focus on what they can do (versus waiting passively for the teacher to do something for them). It also "gives learners a voice in their education and in shaping the curriculum" (Parrish, 2004, p.267), empowering them to be confident.

Lesson self-assessment can be in various forms. Teachers may give out a form for learns to fill out (see the image below), or they can simply ask them the same questions and have them write their answers on post-its and vote for their favorite activity.
