Find out how you can use self and peer assessment to actively involve students in their learning, including teaching tips and examples to use in your classroom.

Self-assessment enables students to take ownership of their learning by judging the extent of their knowledge and understanding. It provides a structure for them to reflect on their work, what they have learned and how to improve. Peer assessment, where students act as critical friends and support each other, can help them to develop self-assessment skills.
