Course Guiding Questions

How can I incorporate peer tutoring as an instructional strategy to improve the literacy and math skills of my ELL students?

Great course for supplementing your ELL instruction!

This course gave me everything I need to quickly implement peer tutoring for my ELL students (and other students as well)! It was a clear, step-by-step guide with all the strategies, scenarios, and training tips built-in. I loved the tools- with them I feel like I’m ready to get started immediately. Anyway, great course!
