Also find a particularly fun way to establish special needs and to plan classroom seating around those needs.

Have you just finished grading a paper-based test or examination? Ready to hand back to the students? Worried that they are going to do a “glance-and-go” instead of reflecting on their performance? Perhaps this free resource is for you. This editable document helps your students to record and reflect on their performance in a test or an examination. It also generates additional information for student and teacher that could improve performance in future tests and examinations. This form takes the process of reflection beyond writing hasty (and often illegible) corrections in the margin of the student’s answer sheet. Although it is marked for Social Science and Language Arts, this resource can be used in any subject that makes use of assessments besides essay-type questions. It also works just as well as a shareable document.
