Taking the teacher out of the assessment can allow students to get a view of their own learning, allowing them to reflect and adjust if need be.

Self/Peer Assessment can help teachers:

• By being a quick 1-5 understanding check so students have to think about their confidence on certain topics, or it can be short answer, descriptions, drawing, solving a problem, etc.

• allowing students to be honest about their learning progression

• allowing students to get feedback from someone other than their teacher

• allowing students to gain a better global view of their work within their own class

• As a class, create their own rubrics to evaluate themselves or their partner/group

• Allow the students some insight into your own marking by providing your own rubric to be used for self-assessment

• Students can evaluate their partner/group self-feedback and can provide peer feedback on that!

• Use this opportunity to ensure students understand the assignment or task and are able to identify the critical components

• Provide feedback to the students on their assessments to correct any misconceptions regarding the assignment or task
