Peer feedback should be an informal discussion about where the learner is in regards to the learning goal. It can involve questions/suggestions that help the learner determine a possible next step.

I see kids who are communicating well because they respect their classmates an feel safe doing so.They know what it should look like which makes them feel easy about doing it.

I think the first hurdle is buy-in. In my experience, students are reticent to share feedback. Either they're hyperfocused on providing the "correct" answer and don't regard the feedback process a means to an end -- to ultimately get to the "correct" answer (if there IS even an accurate answer), or they have been socially conditioned to be spoon-fed an answer if they do nothing (learned helplessness).

So, we have to first condition students that peer feedback is worthwhile, NECESSARY, and won't "go away" if they remain mouthbreathers.

The students who take the feedback process seriously find value in the opinion of others, and are then able to improve their own thinking.
It reminds me of the show Chopped. The chefs who listen to the critiques of the judges, usually learn from their mistakes and improve in the next round. The chefs to defend their choices, and don't listen, often end up being Chopped.

By students giving feedback to each other, it allows them to help each other our and collaborate with each other to finish the learning goal or task of the day. Students feel empowered when they are able to discuss and complete the learning goal of the day. It also allows them to be able to be more independent and take responsibility of their own learning . It also allows them to be more open and feel comfortable sharing and receiving feedback  -Ms.Hugues

I would like to think that I have honed my craft to articulate concepts in the most efficacious way possible...I also concede that I am sesquipedalian, and students don't always grock what the hell I'm talking about. Therefore, it's important to have students explain concepts to each other, refine their mutual understanding. Think of Vygostky's "Zone of Proximal Development" and theories on social learning. No student learns in a vacuum. Learning is socially transmitted. If a student is at level n of understanding, it helps to have a student at n+1 level. Now consider your professors at university who were at n+300million...Kinda hard for them to stoop down to level n, right?

I agree, I feel that the students take the feedback more serious if its coming from their friends or classmates. In my class it helps because the students with higher skills help and support students with lower skills, specially in reading and comprehension.

I like this idea, because if students are in charge of giving each other feedback they have to take the learning more seriously. Also when students tend to react better to feedback from their peers, it seems to mean more to them.

Peer feedback can help students see that they have or have not been successful in their learning goals. Maybe they needed help identifying this success or what to do if they are not being successful. They may respond better to a peer's help than the teachers.

Observing students and the feedback they are giving each other helps the students (and the teacher) understand where they are in their learning.  ~Erin

I think that this is a good practice but can be hard to do since a lot of students tend to lack a complete frame of reference so feedback between students can sometimes not be very helpful. students benefit from having sentence frames, examples and suggestions of specific things to look for. I've also tried using checklists and rubrics and that also helps students give better feedback. -Zac

Grades serve two purposes: sort students into capability levels, or to judge mastery. Sorting students aside, if you assign feedback a grade, it implies there is an accurate answer. Students are less likely to provide feedback if they feel pressure to only answer with an "accurate" answer.
