A Common Teacher Reaction
“Those aren’t my standards.”
“I can’t teach all that! I don’t even understand it!”
“I have ____ (28, 42, 210) students. I don’t have time to look up the DesCartes statements for each student, let alone TEACH them!”
1. Clear Criteria, appropriate difficulty, determined with the student
2. Opportunities for students to evaluate their own
performance, using clear examples and objectives.
3. Evaluation of the student’s use of their own evaluation strategies.
4. Creating new learning goals based upon personal reflection of performance.
