Peer Pressure

 

What is Peer Pressure, and how does it work?  What’s interesting about this topic is that we are all privy to its guiles and effects, but few truly understand it and how it works.   The biggest question of the week is: How Can We Use Peer Pressure in Teaching?  Or can we?  

 

We discuss the implications of peer pressure, studies demonstrating its power, and how it manifests itself in classrooms and other venues—wherever people are present.   Are there factors that would help students work harder? Improve achievement? Become more accountable?  

 

What factors can we use to improve student achievement and our learning and instruction?

 

Venture into this territory this week as we explore.
