Social Studies Instructional Playbook: Strategies for Effective Explicit Instruction Peer Teaching for Deeper Processing (Virtual)

Although explicit instruction is essential for helping students learn new content, it can be even more impactful when students teach each other. So, how can peer teaching empower students to become content experts? In this session, we will explore how incorporating peer teaching into your lessons can deepen student understanding by encouraging active engagement and collaboration. By having students explain concepts to their peers, they solidify their own learning while helping others make meaningful connections. Join us as we reflect on our current teaching practices and discover strategies for integrating peer teaching at different points in the lesson cycle. These tools will help you build your own instructional playbook—enhancing student ownership of learning, fostering collaboration, and promoting deeper processing of content.
