It’s the 10 million dollar question every teacher asks: How do I get my students to truly engage in their learning? According to author and education expert Katie White, student self-assessment is key to developing student agency. Katie has done a ton of thinking and writing on this subject and, in this podcast, she’ll reveal some truly valuable information you can use.
We’ll peek into Katie’s most recent book, Student Self-Assessment: Data Notebooks, Portfolios, and Other Tools to Advance Learning to get a glimpse of some innovative self-assessment strategies that can be used for every grade level. Plus, you’ll discover what in the world wrestling has to do with all this.
