Self and Peer Assessment

Self and Peer Assessment involves students taking responsibility for monitoring and making judgements about aspects of their own or peer’s learning. Students can develop lifelong evaluation skills both about their own work and thinking as well as others.

The cluster has created two posters to facilitate the use of Self and Peer Assessment in the classroom. After an exercise, pupils may be asked to refer to these posters to reflect on their work or on the work of their peers. It allows them to develop learning strategies based on their evaluations.

Here are a few examples of pupils’ responses using the posters:

Spanish – After a Speaking exercise

• I am pleased with this work because:
– I managed to speak quite smoothly without many pronunciation errors.

• Two improvements I made are:
– I understand more of the language.
– I pronounce the words better than I did at the beginning.

• Next time I need to focus on:
– pronouncing the endings of the words more and speak with less of a French accent!

Spanish – After a speaking exercise

• You have met the criteria here by speaking clearly.

• This is your best because you were going at a good pace.

• You could improve further by saying hello and goodbye.
