Book Description: 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.
About the Author: DENNIE BRIGGS has taught at San Francisco State
University, Govenors State University in Illinois, the North London
Polytechnic, and University of California Extension.
Amazon Customer Comments: sfarley@sde.state.nm.us from Santa Fe,
NM, July 23, 1998. You've Got To Be Carefully Taught. The concept of
children teaching children is as pure a pedagogy as we'll ever get. In A
Class of Their Own, Briggs documents its historical foundations as well as
its relevance today as a means of addressing the malaise we so commonly
find in our schools. This book introduces us again to the powerful strategy
of honoring the innate creativity and worth of every child - not simply as
a vessel to be filled, but as a resource we can use to make education more
interesting, relevant, democratic, and humane. It works! And as Briggs so
eloquently points out, it empowers! It changes both the teacher and the
taught, which all great educators know, that's what it's all about.

Peer Instruction: A User's Manual (Prentice Hall Series in Educational Innovation)
By Eric Mazur
Prentice Hall, 1996
$22.00
Publisher's Description: Peer Instruction is an interactive teaching style that actively involves
students in the learning process by focusing attention on underlying
concepts through interactive "ConcepTests," reading quizzes, and conceptual
exam questions. Results, assessed through scores on the Force Concept
Inventory and final exams, show that students better understand concepts
and perform better on conventional problems in this environment. It can be
easily adapted to fit individual lecture styles and used with any textbook.
Eric Mazur's Peer Instruction approach has been successfully field-tested
in a variety of settings, most of them quite different from his home campus
at Harvard University (e.g., University of Massachusetts--Lowel and
Appalachian State University).
