<span style="color: #939598; font-family: 'Myriad Pro',sans-serif; font-size: 20pt;">Criterion C: Reflection and evaluation

The purpose of this criterion is to focus students’ attention on their own creative work and their development in the art form. Students need to be guided in their evaluation of their strengths and weaknesses and their development in the subject. This includes their analysis of the process of working, discussion of themes and issues raised by the work, and responses to feedback from the teacher and from other students. Reflection and evaluation should be an ongoing process in MYP arts, so feedback and responses to it, as well as self-appraisal, need to be recorded in the developmental workbook. When compiling samples for moderation or monitoring of assessment, teachers are asked to include examples of both ongoing and retrospective reflection and evaluation for criterion C.
