Peer Education is a method of teaching/learning where students work in small groups (5-6). Students develop a 30-minute presentation about a class topic based on the readings on Canvas. The intention of peer-ed groups is to help build a learning community where everyone contributes and collaborates toward a common goal of learning. Everyone has knowledge, ideas, insights, and questions to contribute. Together we co-create knowledge and understanding. Be prepared to discuss the textbook readings or websites assigned. Group presentations must include an ice-breaker, reflective questions to engage the topic, and an a basic summary of the topic to support class discussion. After completing peer education, students evaluate the process by filling out a form regarding: teamwork, effort and membership role.
