When to use this goal

For students who turn in drafts without checking them and are surprised by their scores. Present levels should show the student can read the class rubric with help; the target is scoring their own draft close to the teacher's score and choosing a revision goal from it.

Baseline
For five drafts, compare the student's row scores with the teacher's. Count an opportunity as met when every row is within one point of the teacher's score and a revision row is named. Note whether the student scores high across the board or low across the board.
Tips
Self-assessment builds student ownership; let the student choose the revision goal. Use the same rubric the class uses. Talk through disagreements with the student; the reasons are often more useful than the scores.
Limits
Agreement with the teacher depends on the rubric's clarity. A student may match the teacher's score without understanding why. The goal does not measure revision quality.

Goal

By the annual IEP review date, after finishing a draft, given the class writing rubric with student-friendly wording, the student will score the draft on each rubric row, write one sentence of evidence from the draft for each score, and name one row to raise in revision independently in at least 4 of 5 opportunities, across 5 consecutive scored drafts, as measured by opportunity-by-opportunity data collected per draft, at least twice monthly.
