PreK-12 students help each other learn every day. They teach each other.  Why wait until college to develop their teaching skills?
The success of collaborative learning, in and out of schools, depends on how well peers teach each other. Our purpose is to understand and improve this process in order to enhance learning in elementary and secondary schools. At the same time, we can strengthen students whose interest and effectiveness as peer teachers can lead them to consider teaching as a career.
•
 Teachers use small-group strategies to motivate their students to learn.
•
 Students teach each other and learn from each other, in and out of school.
•
 Teaching something promotes deeper learning and better skills, not only for schooling now, but also for parenting, occupations, and community leadership later in life.

Learning to teach well is good for learning and good for living. At the Hoenny Center, we seek to understand, improve, and support the teaching abilities of elementary and secondary school students. We review and do research, consult with students and professional teachers, and disseminate information. We believe that developing teaching abilities in k12 students will improve the field of candidates for teacher certification programs and, thus, strengthen the teachers who graduate from them.
