Paul Bloomberg and Barb Pitchford teamed up with Kara Vandas for another fabulous book. Peer Power offers a practical process to expand peer assessment in the classroom with a goal of amplifying meaningful dialogue and feedback to learners. It will guide, inspire and encourage you in equal measure!

Peer Power is a must read book for all educators who are looking to empower students in a more comprehensive and collaborative way. It is set up in an easy to read and practical way that any educator can approach. Since there are multiple entry points, the reader can follow his/her own path to get what he/she needs to build a better, more student-centered space. In its purest form, Peer Power illustrates what it hopes to inform about with the power of collaboration and multiple voices. We are better together.
Starr Sackstein, author and thought leader
PeerPower models collective efficacy with multiple authors who incorporate peer- and self-assessment through transferable skills and dispositions, protocols, goal-setting, feedback on feedback, building relational trust, and more. Each chapter includes stories, evidence, criteria for success, examples, and strategies to transform assessment at all levels. I highly recommend PeerPower for educators and teacher teams who want to revolutionize assessment so they can empower students to take ownership of learning.
