Inspiration

I just finished reading the Last Lecture by Randy Pausch with Jeffrey Zaslow.  No, Randy isn't a Montessori teacher, but he is a teacher.  One of the things that I got out of the book was the need to have feedback.  Yes it is important to get that feedback from the teacher, but it's equally important to have that feedback from your peers.  

I have students put there goals for the week on there workplans, then we talk about that at the end of the week.  They evaluate themselves, and then I evaluate them.  I would like to incorporate some of the ideas from the book about peer evaluation.

Any ideas?
