Peer Assessment and Feedback

One major benefit of PEER ASSESSMENT is..

• Students can talk more so that they can distract each other

• Students can adjust their own work and thinking by investigating the work of others.

• Students can make fun of each others' work

• we don't need teachers anymore

For PEER ASSESSMENT to work, students must feel that the classroom is NOT...

• a safe and supportive place

• where they get honest and constructive feedback

• a place where they are comfortable with each other

• a place where wrong answers get made fun of

PEER ASSESSMENT is more effective when students are assessing work with reference to a clear and specific set of _____________

Which of these are not one of the 3 habits of mind that are tied to PEER ASSESSMENT?

• Thinking and Communicating with brutal honesty and prejudice

• Thinking interdependently

• Managing impulsivity

• Thinking and Communicating with clarity and precision

Feedback should not include...

• What was right

• What needs to be adjusted

• "What were you thinking!!"

• what suggestions could be implemented in future

Feedback to our students should be

• naggy and longwinded

• brutal and hurtful

• subjective and biased

• Clear and accurate but concise

Which of these is the best quality feedback?

• good job!

• your examples were very clear and specific which supported your answer well!

• your first paragraph was good but the second was not so good

• "WHAT WERE YOU THINKING!!!"

Students must ALWAYS...

• agree with the feedback given

• change everything that was suggested to be changed

• ignore all feedback and go with their own assessment

• Accept feedback graciously whether they agree or not
