Edutopia – Victoriana Savas
Student achievement is often defined by predetermined benchmarks, grades, or scores; however, this one-size-fits-all approach doesn’t typically acknowledge or account for students’ growth.
Taking a differentiated approach to student goal-setting enables learners to redefine success by demonstrating personal progress and taking accountability for their role in the learning process. Incorporating student-created goals into the assessment process promotes intrinsic motivation, purposeful engagement, and high-quality effort from students.
