ISE CORRECTION SYMBOLS
These are intended to help teachers develop their students' skills of selfcorrection, in preparation for the portfolio feedback form.
These symbols will be most useful if teachers use these when checking
students' homework, instead of conventional correction techniques, at least a
month before portfolio preparation begins.
