Rather than just viewing student work as right or wrong, the authors focus on how student work can be a window into students’ thought processes and understanding. Specifically, student work can involve students in the formative learning cycle:
· Where am I going? What am I trying to learn? What are the criteria for success in this learning?
· Where am I now? How does my work compare to the success criteria for what I am trying to learn? What current understandings can I build on?
· Where to next? What next steps do I need to take in my learning? How do I close the gap?
