Explore strategies for implementing an effective peer tutoring program in self-contained Emotional and Behavioral Disorder classrooms to improve social interactions, self-regulation, and academic support among students. The focus is on using peer tutoring as a tool for building healthy relationships and enhancing student performance. The program involves teaching social skills curriculum and math computation strategies to peer tutors to foster positive interactions and encourage success. Key learnings include the importance of modeling and maintaining positive interactions, without relying solely on verbal affirmations.

  1. Peer Tutoring in a Self-Contained EBD Classroom By: Mikaila Tynes

  2. “Any problem behavior can become a social skills lesson.” • Brooks Powers

  3. Focus: • Investigate how to produce an effective peer tutoring program within a self-contained EBD classroom ….since they like to tell people what to do anyway.

  4. Targets: • Performance Target: Improved levels of students interacting/socializing positively. • Trait 1: Students regulate impulsive behaviors when interacting with other students • Trait 2: Students point out positive attributes of each other and encourage each other to succeed

  5. Targets: • Process Target: Provide improved social skills and strategies which will support students in their peer tutoring sessions. • Trait 1: Use variety of research based social skills curriculum to teach students the necessary needs to build healthy relationships • Trait 2: Explicitly teach math computation strategies to peer tutors so students can support one another in specific academic areas.

  8. Peer Tutor Data:

  9. Students Who Participated Data:

  10. Student Surveys

  11. Key Learning • Focus on “establish, maintain and restore” model • Everything takes FOR-E-VER to teach in an EBD room • Positive interactions do not have to include verbal affirmations • The student’s demonstrated they struggled with the 5:1 ration until they were done explaining the strategies to peers • Future social skill lessons can be created or implemented from peer tutoring experiences

  12. Next Steps • Implement regular peer tutoring opportunities • Implement opportunities to tutor outside of class when students have reached appropriate levels • Incorporate same grade tutoring • Teach students how to plan lessons (How To Projects) as an example of how to break down projects and present material • Might have students grade my performance as a teacher with a rubric • Use peer tutoring opportunities as an actual documented intervention to improve student social and self-regulating skills (and possibly academic) • And…..
