🛠️ Steps to Lead Effective Peer Review Sessions

1. Set Clear Goals for the Review

• Define what you are reviewing: lesson plans, digital modules, AI-enhanced materials, assessments, etc.
• Clarify criteria: accuracy, engagement, language clarity, technical validity, cultural relevance.

2. Assemble a Diverse Peer Panel

• Include:
  • Training facilitators
  • Subject matter experts (SMEs)
  • M&E team members
  • Digital transformation leads
  • Youth beneficiaries (optional, for participatory input)

3. Distribute Materials in Advance

• Share editable documents or presentation decks at least 3–5 days before the session.
• Include a review rubric or checklist to guide feedback (e.g., content alignment, inclusivity, digital accessibility, AI integration).

4. Facilitate the Review Session

• Use a structured agenda:
  1. Introduction and context
  2. Walkthrough of content
  3. Open discussion using rubric
  4. Prioritize revisions
  5. Assign follow-up tasks
• Tools: Zoom, MS Teams, or Google Meet with shared screens and live comment editing.

5. Capture and Consolidate Feedback

• Use Google Forms, Miro boards, or Notion for live input and consensus building.
• Assign someone to document feedback clearly (grouped by urgency: critical / recommended / optional).

6. Implement Revisions

• Update the training material accordingly, citing the peer inputs where possible.
• Use version control to track changes and document rationale for accepted or rejected suggestions.

7. Final Review and Approval

• Share the revised content with the same panel for final sign-off.
• Incorporate M&E or quality assurance team for final validation.
