What is Peergrade?
Peergrade is an innovative educational tool designed to facilitate peer assessment in classrooms. It allows students to evaluate each other's work, providing constructive feedback and promoting a deeper understanding of the subject matter. By engaging in the assessment process, students develop critical thinking and analytical skills. Peergrade is used by educators to create a more interactive and collaborative learning environment.
With Peergrade, teachers can easily set up assignments and customize the criteria for evaluation. The platform supports various types of assignments, including essays, projects, and presentations. Students submit their work online, and Peergrade automatically distributes it to their peers for review. The system ensures anonymity, which encourages honest and unbiased feedback. Additionally, teachers can monitor the feedback process and provide their own input when necessary.
In schools, Peergrade is typically implemented as part of the regular curriculum to enhance traditional teaching methods. Teachers introduce the platform to students and provide guidance on how to give and receive feedback effectively. Peergrade can be integrated with existing learning management systems, making it easy to incorporate into the classroom workflow. The platform's flexibility allows it to be used across various subjects and grade levels, making it a valuable tool for fostering a collaborative and supportive learning environment.

Peergrade is by far the most robust and customizable peer review tool on the market.
Aaron Francher found Peergrade:
- Significantly improves teaching efficiency and productivity“It makes it much easier to collect peer review feedback as a means of formatively assessing student work.”
- Moderately reduces teacher workload“I could potentially use peer review grades as a student grade, since they are conducted using the same rubric I use for their formal assessments.”
May 2019
I've already recommended it to the rest of my colleagues in the English department, as well as some History teachers.
Melissa found Peergrade:
- Moderately improves teaching efficiency and productivity“By using scoring scales, I can easily see where students are doing well and what needs to be improved upon. This helps target my lessons. ”
- Significantly reduces teacher workload“I try to have students peer review work before submitting to me. This allows students to find their own errors, rather than me having to point them out. Also, at times, I'll use the student's feedback score from classmates as the score in the grade book. ”
May 2019
Easy and efficient to use.
Lon found Peergrade:
- Moderately improves teaching efficiency and productivity“I was able to have students receive and get feedback from peers without having to do anything. In the past I would have to print papers, assign numbers, and organize who was grading them. Huge time suck....”
- Significantly reduces teacher workload“Assigning peer review of a report in a click. ”

There are some things that I know other teachers would feel intimidated about Peergrade.
Matt found Peergrade:
- Does not significantly improve teaching efficiency and productivity“The interface is difficult to navigate for students who are used to Google Classroom, even with Peergrade-Classroom integration. The integration should be more seamless.”
- Does not reduce teacher workload“I think there's more work, although the main thing is that the students get more feedback.”

I actually just recommended this resource to a high school teacher.
Lauren Salmonsen found Peergrade:
- Significantly improves teaching efficiency and productivity“Peergrade allows me to focus on students who need the most help editing and revising their work because the average and above average students can give each other feedback with little teacher involvement.”
- Significantly reduces teacher workload“This resource allows me to limit the amount of editing I have to do before students submit their final drafts.”
May 2019
I've already shared with the English teachers on my team. As our school goal has been to improve writing across subjects and grade levels, using the same tool will help students become more proficient at using it.
Lauren found Peergrade:
- Significantly improves teaching efficiency and productivity“My students have been able to see multiple examples of writing to better identify what works well and what doesn't work in their own writing.”
- Significantly reduces teacher workload“An easier workflow for peer feedback means less feedback on my part ”

Saving the work from day to day was a major plus for me as an 8th grade teacher
Caitlin nealey found Peergrade:
- Moderately improves teaching efficiency and productivity“Very user-friendly for the students, saves work from day to day if they don't finish in one period, quick and efficient anonymous peer editing”
- Significantly reduces teacher workload“See question above”

I cannot recommend Peergrade enough. There is so much you can do with it, and it's so easy to use.
Rachel Sampson found Peergrade:
- Significantly improves teaching efficiency and productivity“Peergrade automates everything for me once I set up the rubric/questions. The platform is easy to navigate so that I am not constantly troubleshooting issues with students in the lab.”
- Moderately reduces teacher workload“Rather than me checking each rough draft and giving feedback, students can do this for each other. This input is just as good as mine would be, as long as they are using the criteria I set up for them.”
May 2019
I already have recommended it on a trial.
Jake Carr found Peergrade:
- Moderately improves teaching efficiency and productivity“The students receive feedback authentically from their peers. ”
- Moderately reduces teacher workload“It’s faster grading. ”

Now that I am familiar with it, it is essential in my classroom.
Liz Soder found Peergrade:
- Moderately improves teaching efficiency and productivity“my students can do meaningful rehearsal with more frequency than if I were responsible for grading every essay.”
- Moderately reduces teacher workload“My favorite use of peergrade is in AP. I assign and grade an essay and while my students are thinking about the skill, they do another one and give each other focused feedback.”
May 2019
I was just showing the Science teacher how to use Peergade this morning before I checked my e-mail, and I already got the entire ELA department at my school to try it out.
Amanda Gohl found Peergrade:
- Moderately improves teaching efficiency and productivity“I was able to immediately see what type of communication my students were giving and receiving about their work, and knew before getting their final essay that they needed to peer edit again before I could reasonably expect a quality final draft. Because of Peergrade I knew that all of my students were equally engaged in the assignment. I also liked that the students had the autonomy to flag each other's responses if they felt another student was being unfair.”
- Significantly reduces teacher workload“I was able to export the data sheets for my supervisors, rather than breaking down the data myself, which saved me time.”
May 2019
For me, Peergrade is a unique tool that allows me to efficiently structure and manage ways for students to review and critique one another's work. There's nothing that I'm aware of that's quite like it.

After my first assignment, I shared PeerGrade with several colleagues who were able to get it up and running immediately. Students love the instant encouragement they get as they type. Thanks for making such an intuitive and useful tool to help students improve writing!

When students are required to provide meaningful feedback and rate the feedback of their peers, this is a very useful tool. It does take a few assignments for students to get sufficient modeling of what is expected, but then it is excellent.

Our use of Peergrade is a small pilot and so it's too early to answer most of the questions in the survey.

My students really loved the idea of seeing other students writing and responding to it. The fact that the writing they were reading was anonymous was really great for me as a teacher. It allowed students to see what other students were doing without embarrassing anyone. I'm still learning how to use it as a teacher, but I have already recommended it to my administrator for purchase. Thanks!

We love using peer grade with our 8th graders. It really gives them more ownership over their own work and makes them all better and more active editors of each other's work.

My students said this was a wonderful way to peer revise. I love that it is anonymous and helps them share better feedback with each other. It is also much faster for them to peer revise than it would be by writing on a rubric. They loved it and I enjoyed that I could see where in the process each student was as well as their feedback to each other. This enabled me to police students' feedback.
