It was exciting to see how the children improved. [They] learned that they had to look at the person listening when they were speaking, and they learned how to make their comments specific or related to what the speaker was saying. They also learned that facial expression has a role to play when you respond to others.

Science class peer assessment, Oxford Area School

Oxford Area School students

The students and their teacher have previously identified the features that should be present in their science notes. They are using these features to discuss each other's work and to identify a particular feature to improve on for next time.

Students learn to make increasingly accurate assessments by judging their own work and that of others in relation to particular criteria, and also by discussing their judgments with their peers and their teacher. The ability to appraise one's own learning and achievement is a skill that needs to be taught. We need to give students opportunities to assess their own and others' work in a supportive environment.
