Peer Collaboration Evaluation Tool
Using our “Peer Collaboration Evaluation Tool,” you will be able to help students be more consciences of how well they work with other team members.
As part of a State wide STEM competition I had to take my student to a variety of local businesses, government agencies, hospitals and organizations to help gather some insight about the needs for the community.
As a result of that experience there was a common response I receive to the question: What skills do you need our students to have when coming to you out of high school or college?
For every person I posed the question, all of their responses were:
“THEY NEED TO BE ABLE TO WORK WELL WITH THE TEAM”
Reflect on your grade book right know.
How are you assessing your student’s ability to work as team?
Do your students know they are not easy to work with?
Are they able to do almost no work and still get the same grade as the whole group because they are good at pretending to be involved?
Student can no longer sit back and let everyone else work for them!
Using this google form tool your student can now evaluate each other!
Here is a quick video that shows you what the tool can do!
The Google Form That Your Students Will See (Below)
The best part of this that the tool will keep track of all of the responses for as long as you want. You can even use it across disciplines.
The tool takes your students’ scores from their peers and automatically gives you the average of all of their scores as a percentage, average of all of their total scores and the average of all of their individual scores.
All you need to do as a teacher, is set up a place for students to fill out the Peer Collaboration Evaluation Form using a computer, Ipad or other device with internet access.
