• Use feedback loops from multiple sources: peer, self, community, teacher, group assessment
• Think about NEW types of data: web search history, feedback from the learning community, participation, learning logs
• Student assessment should reflect real-world evaluation processes
• Does learning ever really end? Ask students how they plan on continuing their learning journey

Student Mentors: Peer to Peer Editing
“It’s tough for me to explain their error. I know how to fix their sentences, but I actually had to google
why it should be changed. It adds more of a challenge and it helps me remember grammar rules. To be honest, I am worried that I will give
them wrong information, but I always try to double check” – Breanna S., 12th Grade
