There are instructions below for yourself and your learners.
- You can download our template for collaborative assessment here and modify it to suit your learners and teaching context.
Tutor Instructions
- Choose two or three literacy or numeracy activities, goals or learning areas for the group to focus on.
- Record these on the group worksheet. You can type over the prompts and make it your own.
- Decide whether you need to facilitate the discussion or help record the answers.
- Explain the task to your learners. It should be a discussion. You should record the answers if writing is going to distract from the discussion.
- Ask the group to:
- Rate themselves in terms of how they got on with this learning or the goals you focused on. Remember, you should focus this on specific aspects of literacy and numeracy.
- Discuss their answers to the other questions in the template.
- Collect the evidence when they’re finished.
Instructions for the group
- Write down the names of the people in your group and the date.
- Read the questions and discuss what you think you have learned for each activity, goal or learning area.
- Record your answers. Another person including your tutor can do this for you if you want.
