Dalla quarta di copertina:

The Workshop Project is a collaboration of teachers, learning specialists and students that develops and implements a Peer-Led Team Learning model of teaching science. Students who have done well in the course are selected and trained for leadership roles. These peer leaders guide the work of teams of 6-8 students to solve carefully structured problems in weekly Workshop sessions.

HERE IS WHAT OUR STUDENTS HAVE TO SAY:

"I used to work alone now I study in teams in all of my science classes."

"Workshop provides the structure and encouragement for students to do the right thing."

"Workshop is a tremendous help to understanding and applying the concepts I give it two thumbs up."

"The model provides a safe environment for students to be on both ends of the information exchange."

"It seems enigmatic, but the group activity facilitates autonomy and individual accomplishment."

"When I take an exam now, I hear my Workshop colleagues asking 'How do you know? Are you sure? Can you explain?'

"I discovered that I enjoy helping people learn."
