In this era of high stakes testing, teachers across America are
struggling with the demands of raising student achievement.
Tutoring programs can become important learning strategies that
will assist students in learning to solve problems, collaborate
with others, and think creatively. All these are part of the
creative thinking process important for students to master since a
greater percentage of high school graduates enroll in some form of
post-secondary education. This guide gives teachers specific
instructional methods to help students raise their skills and
critical thinking abilities. It provides step-by-step guidance on:
Designing a tutoring program, Training tutors, Conducting
meaningful assessment and evaluation. Peer Tutoring offers a wide
variety of success stories drawn from published research that
describes how ordinary teachers have successfully used peer and
cross-age tutoring in a wide variety of elementary, high school,
and college applications. Sample forms are also included that
teachers can adapt for their needs. The Internet opens a whole new
world of information, ideas, and experiences to students. What most
teachers lack are successful ways of framing the art of teaching to
take advantage of this new resource-rich environment. This book
will help teachers co-construct knowledge with students to help
classroom learning become more "student-centered."
