The peer-led team learning model Strang presented has several components. Workshop leaders are undergraduates who have taken the course previously and successfully. They are trained by the faculty member and ideally by a learning specialist who can help them with group communication skills. The workshop leaders are then assigned to groups of 8 students who meet weekly for group learning sessions. The relationships are mapped out below.
Workshops are integral, coordinated with the course.
Close faculty involvement. Peer leaders are successful in course and are well trained and closely supervised. Workshop materials are appropriately challenging and encourage collaborative learning. Institution supports teaching innovations. Strang provided contact information for anybody desiring resources from the Workshop, including a Guidebook and a publication entitled On Becoming a Peer Leader.
