PreK-12 students help each other learn every day: they teach each other.

Why wait until college to develop their teaching skills?

The Hoenny Center works with teachers and students in these ways:

Research, both national and local

Program development, to help kids teach better

Consultation with a group of dedicated PreK-12 teachers

Dissemination, to share what we're learning

Click on "New Briefs" (right) to learn about North Park Middle School Band students teaching Los Angeles area homeless kids how to play band instruments. The homeless students perform as members of the band when they're ready. Now, they're going to Carnegie Hall in April. The public middle school's band teacher Ron Wakefield began the program several years ago to meet a need. The band, with the homeless musicians who were ready, went to Carnegie Hall in 2007; now they're making a return trip with the band's new group of students.
