As part of the release of Inquiry Mindset Assessment Edition, I am sharing with you some of the sketchnotes from the book. This one is titled the Student Assessment Compass. It frames chapter nine and aims to support teachers in coaching and modelling the conditions for students to self-assess with accuracy, with clarity, for fulfillment, and authenticity. It offers up a visual process for teachers and students to work together in assessment to slowly, over time, have students become competent self assessors in any context.

From the book: “The behaviours, tasks, routines, and protocols, as they have been scaffolded throughout this book, aim to provide you and your stu- dents with the opportunity to make effective change so peer and self-assessment can benefit all who participate in this process. The summation of this scaffolding and the ongoing mindset of inquiring into our learning, our thinking, and ourselves presents us with the language and expertise to maximize assessing together.
Talking about peer and self-assessment through the lens of the Assessment Compass is extremely helpful when it comes to giving agency over learning to students. The Assessment Compass com- prises four cardinal assessment directions: accuracy, clarity, fulfill- ment, and authenticity. These points require our constant refine- ment, discourse, care, and attention to ensure that our assessment practice is something on which we can rely regardless of the context or situation.”
