Peer Tutoring

As I mentioned in the Reading post, I think success can be made through peer tutoring. I plan on having my students work together in my classroom. I think the teacher teaching at the front of the classroom is important, but I think that gets very boring for students. I think the peer tutoring would be a great way for students to learn from what they know as well as from their classmates. One student may understand what I am teaching them, but when they get the information from another student it sometimes becomes a lot more clear to them.
These are a few ways I will use peer tutoring in my classroom:
a) After each lesson I teach I will let the students get into groups to discuss what I taught and to see what the other students got from the lecture.
b) Before a test I will let the students get into their groups to study what they have learned for the test.
c) I will let them do projects in groups of two so they can gather twice as much information on their topic than they would by their self.
