I thought it was interesting how the teacher asked for the students' input on the assignments. As a constructivist teacher she put a lot of emphasis on the responsibility of the students in their learning process. She allowed the students' to help decide what assets they should be graded on. She still administered the conversation to make sure the requirements they were choosing were fair and valid. Asking for students' input is an efficient way to get the students more involved in their learning. Evaluating other students' work gives a student time to think about how they would critique their own work. I want to teach Kindergarten, and I think that even at this level a student's input is important. The teacher could have used a behaviorism centered approach to assessment. She could have assumed that the role of assessing belonged to her and the reward of getting at A from her was enough for a student.
