This book is a practical resource for teachers who wish to use this valuable strategy in their classrooms. It includes teacher support notes which explore the concept of student self-assessment and provide a range of practical guidelines and strategies, and a comprehensive range of worksheets - focusing on knowledge, skills, attitudes and values - to help students self-assess various aspects of their own learning.
