What's in the Self-Assessment Template
Five Work Habits to Rate
A table with Always, Mostly, Sometimes and Not Yet columns, one box checked per row.
Learned, Well and Hard
Ruled boxes for what they learned, what they did well and what they found hard.
A Goal for Next Time
One last ruled box where the student turns the reflection into a goal.
Editable Versions
Type into the Word, Google Docs or PDF file, in US Letter or A4, or print it.
How to Use the Self-Assessment Template
Pick the Moment
Hand it out when a unit or project ends, and have students write the unit or project name at the top.
Rate the Habits
Students mark one box in each row of the table and think about real examples from their own work.
Write the Reflection
They fill in what they learned, what went well and what was hard, using complete sentences.
Set a Goal
Students finish with one goal for next time, written as something they can do, not a wish.
Read and Reply
Read the sheets beside the finished work, and write back a line on where you agree or see it differently.
