Students should be involved with the assessment process as part of their learning. Students can use samples to give themselves an indication of what is expected of a project then use the samples to create a rubric for the assignment they are expected to complete (Stiggins, 2007). By creating the rubric, students are involved with the assessment process and are agreeing upon a rubric together. The expectations for the project are being determined by those who will be completing the project, so the expectations should be clearly understood. Research by Holstead and King (2011) determines that student participation is essential for organizing successful assessment when involving students. Self-assessment will only work properly with high participation rates from the students in the class.
Stiggins (2007) also suggests that teachers use peer –reviews. In a peer review, the students are part of the assessment process and are gaining an even clearer understanding of the assessment process. Students have the opportunity to perfect their work before it is submitted to the teacher. This process will give students the opportunity to create higher quality work (Stiggins, 2007).
