“Enabling peer teaching in lessons”.
Background
· When we teach we learn twice
· Peer teaching has a high effect on learning (Hattie)
· The aim of the project is to investigate how peer teaching can be developed in the mathematical classroom.
Key Actions
· Create a set of resources ("You teach - You do") that students can work with collaboratively to teach each other in the classroom.
· Use these resources within three AS classes using different pairing strategies..
· Offer theses resources to other teaching staff.
Preliminary findings
· Students enjoy peer teaching and learning
· Creating hand written "You teach - You do" sheets is a useful use of lesson planning time.
- Experienced mathematical teaching staff have been very positive in adopting these resources into their own teaching practice
