When you say student centered do you mean having the students help asses? Such as peer and self assessment? If so then it made me think more about getting the students involved in thier grade. If they can give themself a grade they might be more invested in the project. Also, having on going student assessments allows the students to pay attention to how they are doing and what they need to do.

I have used student centered assessment before, and I did not originally realize all the benefits for the students. I know that kids tend to be very enthusiastic. If studentsa and teacher discuss a sample rubric and make suggestions for adapting it. The students can even have a hand in deciding expectations. The students may express their own choices and increase their buy-in.

I am offended by the word "boring". Many people choose to not engage, to not bring responsibility to school. I believe they are choosing ignorance, and the root word of ignorance is ignore. They choose to ignore learning that could benefit them. Student-centered assessment can help students to overcome the temptation to choose ignorance.

By incorporating student assessment in student learning, students are validating their work. There is more "buy in" to their learning. Self assessment can also benefit the students in creating and obtaining goals. It can put them in charge of their learning.

...how to create thought-provoking questions to scaffold students' reflection efforts, guide students' progress on activities, and assist them in becoming more responsible for their learning and creations.

. . . assessment is not always a test; that it is ongoing; that it keeps students focused; that it can come during various times as the class or unit are taught; it does not always require a grade; it can be self, peer, or a teacher assessment; and that there is a huge benefit to the student when he is assessing himself.
