Peer Assessment: Why? When? How?

In this webinar, CJ Rauch explores how peer assessment can be used effectively to support learning, rather than becoming a time-consuming

or unreliable classroom routine.

Drawing on research evidence, the webinar examines the potential benefits of peer assessment, alongside the common challenges that can limit its impact if poorly designed or implemented.

Participants will consider when peer assessment is most likely to be effective, when it should be avoided, and how it fits within a broader approach to formative assessment and feedback.

The webinar will also share a range of practical, classroom-ready peer assessment techniques, with clear guidance on scaffolding, modelling, and accountability to ensure peer feedback is meaningful, manageable, and acted upon by students.

Teachers will leave with greater clarity and confidence about using peer assessment purposefully in their own classrooms.
