Implementing peer feedback
Integrated Learning requires students to evaluate their learning through self-assessment and feedback from others. Peer feedback is a mechanism for students to develop capability in understanding, interrogating and applying criteria and standards as it opens up a dialogue about what quality looks like. This session will explore what effective feedback looks like and how to teach students to engage in giving feedback that is productive and meaningful.

Personal Endeavour
Why Endeavour? When Integrated Learning went through subject renewal three years ago, the external assessment, formerly known as the Investigation, was renamed the Personal Endeavour. Exploring the intentionality of this title, the assessment design features, and examples of great student endeavours, Karen Horvath will provide insights for teachers wanting to create greater depth in this task with their students.
