Peer Editing Checklist

Often enough, educators assign peer assessments to their classes or study groups as a way of helping students understand their fellow classmates and where they themselves fit in. This is a useful diagnostic tool for them to use when discerning where group assignments or pairings were either successful or met with failure. The Peer Editing Checklist template provides an easy means of quickly creating these assessments and distributing them to a group.

Tips for Using the Peer Editing Checklist Template

• This checklist can be handed out to a class or study group to be used as a conversation starter or to gauge what students think of you class or teaching style.
• Use the template to provide a means of testing your students on their retention of knowledge relative to your lessons without the pressure of an official test or performance review.
