Student Driven Success Criteria--Formative Assessment with a Google Form

As suggested last week, co-creating your success criteria is an effective strategy that will shift the ownership of learning from the teacher to the student which in turn will increase the relevance, clarity and motivation of students. 

This week, we want to show you an easy way to have students revisit the success criteria at the end of the lesson using a Google Form. Follow the steps below or watch Kimberly do it:

1. Before class, create a simple Google Form with the following questions: Name (text), Period (choose from a list), a grid question with blank rows and the levels of achievement across the top, and Additional Reflection or Comments (paragraph text).
2.  As you and your students co-create the success criteria, fill in the rows of the grid question. I wouldn’t hesitate to let students see you do this—just pull up the form and type as you brainstorm criteria.
3. At the end of the class, have students fill out the form. (Share the link to your live form by getting a short URL and writing it on the board, emailing the URL to your students, posting the link on your SWIFT site or in Google Classroom.)
4.  Review your responses in the spreadsheet: FormàShow summary of responses.
