Summary:
This handbook for teachers, students, and parents provides
information about training and providing opportunities for students
to tutor younger students. It shows how the learning process can
benefit both tutor and student by going beyond the teacher-led
classroom to one that is more democratically organized. Peer teachers
improve their grasp of the subject and younger children learn from
those who truly speak their language. In addition to increased
learning and interest in learning, peer tutoring allows classroom
teachers to devote time to students who need more individualized
attention and to teach analytic and human relations skills and
imaginative uses of technology.
