Free Printable Peer Evaluation Form for Group Work

About these peer evaluation form handouts

A group grade alone cannot tell you who did what. A peer evaluation fills the gap by asking students to describe how each teammate worked, using habits they can see: sharing ideas, doing a fair share, meeting deadlines and handling disagreement. It is not a vote on who is liked.

This form rates one teammate on seven habits using a four-point scale from always to rarely. The scale has no middle, so students cannot park every answer at average. Below the grid, two short boxes ask for the most helpful thing the teammate did and one thing that would make the group stronger. Asking for something helpful first and a suggestion second keeps comments constructive.

The bottom line asks students to rate their own part with the same scale. Seeing how a student rates themselves next to how teammates rate them is often the most useful thing on the page. It is a starting point for a conversation, not a verdict.

Print one copy per teammate, so a group of four fills out three sheets each. Students hand the sheets to you instead of passing them around, and you decide how to use them. Many teachers treat the ratings as one input among several, alongside observation and the work itself.

How to use them

1. Print one form for every teammate each student needs to rate.
2. Have each student write their own name at the top, then the name of the teammate they are rating.
3. Read the scale aloud and give an example for each number.
4. Students circle one number in each row, then write the two comments and rate themselves.
5. Collect the forms privately and review them before any group conferences.

Classroom tips

• Model one rating on the board with an invented student and invented work, so students see what a specific comment looks like.
• Collect forms face down. Students rate more honestly when they know no teammate will read their sheet.
• Look for patterns, not single ratings. One low score is a data point, and three low scores from different teammates is a conversation.
• Do a short peer evaluation midway through the project, so students can change their habits before the final grade.

Notes on this page

• Print one form per teammate. Students hand the forms to the teacher, not to the teammate.
