Peer-led Team Learning A Handbook for Team Leader

Peer-Led Team Learningis an innovate model in science education. Student leaders (peers) guide the activities of small groups of students in weekly Workshop meetings. The students work through challenging problems that are designed to be solved cooperatively. The peer leaders are trained to ensure that the students are actively and productively engaged with the material and with each other. This methodology offers a number of educational opportunities: the supportive format encourages questions and discussions that lead to conceptual understanding; students learn to work in teams and to communicate more effectively; peer leaders learn teaching and group management skills.Goldstein, Ellen is the author of 'Peer-led Team Learning A Handbook for Team Leader', published 2007 under ISBN 9780131876057 and ISBN 0131876058.
