“…Additional contemporary peer-teaching research has examined the effects of the Juniper Gardens CWPT program on pupils' acquisition of health and safety information (Reddy et al, 1999), the development of correct cardiopulmonary resuscitation performance among physical education majors (Ward & Ward, 1996), and the acquisition and retention of Spanish vocabulary among students with special needs in secondary general education settings (Wright, Cavanaugh, Sainato, & Heward, 1995). Other peer-teaching methods have been used to improve pupils' abilities to ask comprehension and thought-provoking questions in science and to provide elaborated responses to peer questions when serving as tutees in dyadic relationships (King, Staffieri, & Adelgais, 1998).…”

Teaching is more difficult today than in the past, and most educators predict that it will become even more challenging in years to come. Exponential increases within the school curriculum, spectacular changes in student demographic characteristics, and dwindling instructional resources make it extremely difficult for even the most responsive teachers to provide a high-quality education for all pupils. These challenges become more formidable when teachers attempt to meet the needs of students with mild disabilities in less restrictive settings (e.g., general education classrooms). In this article, we describe how a variety of peer-mediated instruction and interventions might assist classroom teachers in meeting such instructional challenges. We describe the extensive academic and behavioral needs of this population of students, provide an illustrative review of peer-teaching methods, and suggest future directions for research and practice.
