What is student self-assessment?

Student self-assessment involves students evaluating their own work for the purpose of improving it.

Emily Wray created the RISE model, and it is aligned with Bloom’s Taxonomy for higher-order thinking.

The model was designed to help educators engage their students and make the process of giving and receiving feedback clear with guidelines to achieve our end goal of student growth.

Students can also use the RISE model to provide feedback to their peers and to access their own work.

There are four levels to the RISE model: Reflect, Inquire, Suggest, and Elevate. During the recall process, you recall, ponder, and communicate. Through the RISE component of inquiry, students can seek further information and ask guiding questions about their assignment.

As an educator, I can discover through dialogue why a student has responded to a question or an assignment in a particular manner.

Moving beyond the reflection and inquiry phase of the RISE process will require some suggestions and recommendations to guide the student’s learning process further. The feedback I provide will help students to analyze their work and look for further improvements.

The final stage in the RISE process is Elevate. This stage will help raise a student's awareness so that new concepts and ideas can be used in future assignments or projects. Educators can use words to inspire students to pursue more.
