Peer Review

I thought the peer review was very valuable. It was great to give and get feedback from other student teachers who are in the same position as myself. It was also good to see the methods another student teacher uses in their classroom. It also gave me perspective on difficulties that others are having when student teaching, such as connecting content back to student experiences.

I enjoyed reviewing a peer's lesson and found it informational. I did find it hard to say negative things about a peer, knowing how hard it has been to get better at teaching myself. I tried to be as positive as possible, and luckily, had a talented peer to review.

Peer review is on the domains rubric, because it is a good way to have students think critically and be exposed to how other students complete assignments. It can help students realize areas they are talented in and areas they need to improve in relation to their classmates. One way to implement peer review would be on the current event articles we use in business explorations. Students could note how other students write and make suggestions about how to improve the other student's work. Also, by noticing things that are giving other students problems, they may realize something that they are doing wrong and need to improve.
