classroom, teachers could
also assign roles and establish
routines in the art classrooms.
A well-designed and organised
classroom will enable the teacher
to observe, support and meet the
learning needs of students over
time.
3.
Assessment for Learning
A good way to involve students in
assessment and ownership of their
own learning is to empower them
to self-assess and peer-assess.
Students of this age group would
have the maturity to discern and
provide an honest self-assessment
if the learning objectives were
clearly articulated and the
success criteria have been clearly
understood. Based on a teacher-
designed assessment rubric or
a teacher-student co-designed
assessment rubric, the students
would be able to assess their own
level of achievement and set their
own learning goals for the coming
assignment. This would free the
teacher to focus on students who
need more guidance during the art
lesson.
4. Responding by
Differentiating
Tapping on their knowledge of
students’ interests, learning needs
and preferences, teachers should
be flexible in their approach and
adjust the following to suit the
different learners in the same
classroom:
• what the students will learn
(content),
• how the students will learn
(process) and,
• how students will
demonstrate their learning
(product).

Extracted from a sample of initial self-assessment by student. They started by determining which level of
achievement they are at first (Developing, Competent, Proficient) and work towards a targeted level of
achievement in their next piece of work.

An extract of the power-point slides to illustrate how students were guided to self-evaluate and see their own
progress made in drawing over time.
