Establish a structure for peer collaboration and help.
- Seeing peers teaching gives students confidence that they can understand the material too.
- In addition, other students have learned the material more recently, and may relate better to their peers in framing the material.
- Designate a particular location in the classroom where students can consult with each other for help.
- This may encourage students to think carefully about their questions.
- It will also promote collaboration in a productive way as an important step in development.
