Peer Teaching

Learn Together, Teach Each Other

Peer teaching allows students to take ownership of learning by teaching topics to their classmates. Working in small or large groups, learners research, prepare, and deliver interactive presentations while building teamwork and communication skills.

What is the Peer Teaching Activity?

Peer Teaching transforms students into teachers for a session. Groups are formed based on size and assigned a subject area such as Environmental Science, Healthcare, History, or Technology. Each member takes on a role like Research Lead, Presenter, Data Analyst, Creative Developer, or Timekeeper. For larger groups, AI may also assign sub-topic specialists to cover the subject in depth.

The activity involves researching a topic, preparing structured teaching content, and delivering it through engaging methods like case studies, data analysis, or interactive Q&A sessions. The goal is to deepen understanding by explaining concepts to peers, fostering accountability, and encouraging collaboration.
