Peer review of student writing can often be problematic. However, it also has the potential of being a very positive experience for students and teachers alike.

I’ve written about it in the past, and shared related resources, but I thought it would be useful to collect them into one “Best” list.

You might also be interested in all my many “Best” lists about writing instruction, as well as The Best Posts On Helping Students Teach Their Classmates — Help Me....

Here are my choices:

Mentors.net - a Professional Development Resource

Mentors.net was founded in 1995 as a professional development resource for school administrators leading new teacher induction programs. It soon evolved into a destination where both new and student teachers could reflect on their teaching experiences. Now, nearly thirty years later, Mentors.net has taken on a new direction—serving as a platform for beginning teachers, preservice educators, and

other professionals to share their insights and experiences from the early years of teaching, with a focus on integrating artificial intelligence. We invite you to contribute by sharing your experiences in the form of a journal article, story, reflection, or timely tips, especially on how you incorporate AI into your teaching

practice. Submissions may range from a 500-word personal reflection to a 2,000-word article with formal citations.
