Creating Personal Learning Through Self-Assessment

http://tinyurl.com/6xzbfd

1-hour Web Conference with Jean Donham - $109.95

 Assessment is a word that is typically associated with formal schooling,
and with being imposed from external sources: for example, teachers assess
student work, administrators assess teacher performance, and authorities
assess school and school board progress.  Although external assessment
strategies are essential, the most valuable assessment leading to productive
life-long learning is self-assessment. Within the context of information
literacy, liaison librarians and teacher-librarians create opportunities for
students to develop habits of reflection and self-assessment.  This session
will highlight pertinent strategies to maximize the cycle of continuous
improvement: setting learning goals, pursuing the learning, and
reflection/self-assessment of one's learning.
