Foreword
Dear reader,
Peer learning empowers students to become active participants in their own and each other’s learning journeys. In this issue, we explore how peer-led strategies can deepen understanding, increase motivation, and foster inclusive classroom cultures.
From engineering labs infused with design thinking to group projects shaped by student planning, the articles reflect how structured peer collaboration leads to measurable academic gains. In language classrooms, peer feedback enhances writing clarity and confidence, while in literature circles, student-led discussions spark critical thinking.
Whether through peer-led science labs, student screencasts in math, or emotional support circles in middle school, the evidence is clear—students thrive when given voice, responsibility, and mutual trust. Teachers, too, benefit from this shared learning environment, as peer structures cultivate autonomy, reduce pressure, and build community.
This issue is a practical guide and an invitation to rethink roles in the classroom. It affirms that when learners teach and learn from each other, everyone grows.
Warm regards,
Dr. E. Mahiban Ross, Chief Editor, Excellent Educator
