The students themselves have many skills and a lot of knowledge. I've always believed that the teacher is only one person with knowledge and skills. So I've encouraged kids to see that they can teach others too.
I have dabbled with peer tutoring in Term 4 across a range of subject areas for the past two years. My observation is that it has multiple benefits for those being taught AND those doing the teaching. I want to explore this further and formalise it, starting early in the year.
While I enjoy the workshop system I have employed, I don't get to see every student frequently enough. If selected students can take workshops, then those who need it will get more explicit teaching time.
