  7. Anonymous Pre-Assessment • Number paper from 1-5 • Answer questions in the following way: • 5: I do this on an ongoing basis, or this happens all the time in my classroom • 4: I do this frequently, or this happens frequently in my classroom • 3: I do this sometimes, or this sometimes happens in my classroom • 2: I do this infrequently, or this happens infrequently in my classroom • 1: I don’t do this, or this doesn’t happen in my classroom

  8. Question #1 • I understand the relationship between assessment and student motivation and use assessment to build student confidence rather than failure and defeat.

  9. Question #2 • I articulate, in advance of teaching, the achievement targets my students are to hit.

  10. Question #3 • My students describe what targets they are to hit and what comes next in their learning.

  11. Question #4 • My students are actively, consistently, and effectively involved in assessment, including learning to manage their own learning through the skills of self-assessment.

  12. Question #5 • My students actively, consistently, and effectively communicate with others about their achievement status and improvement.
