This innovative book provides a range of models for undergraduate student-assisted teaching partnerships to help faculty, faculty developers, and administrators make learning more student-centered, more effective, and more productive.
Each of the 31 models included in this volume is supported with practical details and focuses on four main aspects of a specific peer-assisted learning environment: 1) implementation, 2) evidence of effectiveness and learning benefits, 3) analysis of time and cost expenditures, and 4) suggestions for replication.
The chapters present a range of approaches, applications, disciplines, institutions, and contexts, and demonstrate that student-faculty partnerships can be adapted to meet diverse needs in a variety of situations. Extensive appendices aid implementation by providing concrete examples of hiring documents, training syllabi, teaching materials, and evaluation methods.
