Title: Peer Tutoring: Part of Learning Supports (information Resource)
Description: Teachers can’t and shouldn’t be expected to work alone in the classroom. This is particularly the case in schools serving large numbers of students who are not doing well and where class size can range up to over 40 students.
Schools need to develop a variety of ways that teachers can expand and integrate social capital intoclassrooms to improve resources and strategies fo
r enhancing learning and performance. One readily available set of resources are students themselves. We have explored the topic of students as mentors
in another information resource (http://smhp.psych.ucla.edu/pdfdocs/mentoring.pdf
). Here the focus is on peer tutoring. Access at: http://smhp.psych.ucla.edu/pdfdocs/peertutor.pdf
