explaining entails the peer tutor in thinking about the work and
presenting in new ways. The resulting clarification of the work
can develop deeper understanding for both students.

14. Implications for using self and peer assessment
To develop peer and self assessment teachers need
to …
Train pupils over time to assess their work and the work of
others
Plan for peer and self assessment opportunities in their
lessons
Systematically explain the learning objectives, outcomes
and contributing success criteria behind each task
Guide pupils to identify their next steps
Frequently and consistently encourage pupils’ self-
reflection on their own learning
Plan opportunities and time to allow pupils to do it!
15. Summary from ‘Working inside the black box’
(Black, Harrison, Lee, William – 2002)
The criteria for evaluating and learning achievement must be
transparent to pupils to enable them to have a clear overview.
Pupils should be taught the habits and skills of collaboration in peer
assessment.
Pupils should be encouraged to keep in mind the aims of their work
and to assess their own progress to meet these aims as they
proceed.
Peer & self assessment make unique contributions to the
development of pupils’ learning – they secure aims that cannot be
achieved in any other way.
16. Advantages for the teacher
Pupils use each other to discuss, prepare and
assess their work. They become independent
learners
Free time for the teacher to observe pupil learning
Relaxing – the children do the work, we manage/
overview
Quicker assessment, immediate feedback
Pupils learn assessment criteria in an interesting
way, so they remember it and use it automatically.
This makes us more effective

The aim of this session is to review our understanding of AfL and the importance of using self and peer assessment within learning and teaching Strategies which will be touched upon in this session may be familiar to many of you, but the hope is that revisiting such ideas may provide you with the opportunity to reflect up on your own practice and of practice within your own department. The hope is that discussion within this session may prompt you to review the most effective ways of providing pupils with opportunities for peer and self assessment within your own practice.

Lead a discussion around need to share clear success criteria with students. Whilst this may seem obvious, this is still not seen as common practice in many lessons observed. Discuss the need to share clearly focused success criteria with students in order for them to see their individual steps to success. Hopefully these success criteria will lead to discussions about interpretations etc which you may wish to follow up on.

It is worth discussing how such issues can be/have been overcome in school. How can existing good practice already evident in school be shared?
The final slide summarises the key findings from research on self and peer assessment.
