How can you transform yourself from a supportive peer to an impactful tutor? You can start by gaining an understanding of the pedagogical principles and practical tools that underpin successful peer-led learning. In this course, you will tap into the science of learning with a focus on the role of metacognition in fostering understanding and academic growth. You will unpack the art of critical thinking by deconstructing the problem-solving process with an eye towards modeling and teaching that process to others. Through discussion, analysis and workshops, you will build skills to promote learning in a collaborative peer-led environment, to cultivate inclusive practices for establishing rapport, and to develop strategies for embedding metacognitive practices in your tutoring.
