Written by Christine Witcher When a student walks up to a lab bench and turns on a hotplate, they (and their families) are trusting that I have provided them with the information and equipment necessary to stay safe as they learn. As their teacher, I have what's called a Duty of Care. This includes knowing the possible risks, weighing those risks against the educational benefits of the activity, and providing students with reasonable protections, like wearing goggles and lab aprons. I take this duty very seriously, even writing it into each lesson plan. The physical risks associated with lab work are no greater than the security risks associated with using connected technology. So why aren't we all taking cybersecurity just as seriously? There are laws regulating how student information can be collected, stored, and used.

Each peer review session is structured around a single criteria and scaffolds the review process to support high-quality feedback between students. We're looking for innovative educators interested in exploring how rapid formative feedback can transform learning.
