Abstract

3 for Me Is Better Than 2 for You Joey Harris Jerry Aldridge Do you want to individualize your classroom so that every stu- dent's needs are met in a more efficient manner? The best answer I have discovered to accomplish this overwhelming task is peer tutoring. Traditionally this has been perceived as one, more able, older student providing assistance to a younger, less able student. However, with a learning disabilities class, this technique has sometimes seemed impossible. I have discovered a whole new concept in peer tutoring that enlists the aid of more than one student, is easy to administer, and has proven beneficial to the students involved. The following model has grown out of my students' needs with the addition of new components of peer tutoring: The Peer Trio Technique, Peer Mediated Games, and Teacher Monitoring System. The Peer Trio Technique Three students are selected to wor k together on the basis of a common need-remediation.
