Chapter 3: Co-design & Co-construct

What are the three benefits of co-designing with students?

• The teacher can give a series of options for how the task could be done.

• Students see that their voice matters in an authentic manner.

• Teachers can more powerfully meet the needs of their diverse classrooms by planning learning with students rather than for students.

• The learning community is shaped by teachers and students working together.

• Creating visuals of expectations and criteria ensures children feel supported and reminded of the co-constructed criteria.

One of the steps using Assessment tools is to _________ with the mandated one and support and scaffold the students understanding to reach the mandated one.

When codesigning assessment tools what can you do with the students to make them more part of the teaching and learning?

• Get students to understand the assessment and in groups build a rubric for it.

• Match the student-created rubrics with the mandated one and support and scaffold the students' understanding to reach the mandated one.

• Share a variety of samples from previous years – ones that were excellent, some which needed revision and also those that needed a lot of revisions from teachers

• Share a word bank of vocabulary that is there on the master rubric

Do you think this process of co-construct and co-design can be taught at any grade level?

• Yes
