It is, to some extent, a self-directed teaching style that allows the student to learn in his or her own fashion. Under Peer-Partner, the teacher will: \n* Provide a unit plan consisting of the objectives for several days, written in a language that the students can understand \n* Visit with each student at least once each period: this provides an opportunity to assess the progress of the peer-partners \n* Determine the appropriateness of the style selected by each student \n* Use good questioning techniques and negotiation to help steer the students to becoming more independent \n* Provide perception checks and final tests as indicated in the unit plan \n* Provide a second evaluative activity if required by an individual student The student will: \n* Choose a partner very carefully, considering each other's learning characteristics when making the choice \n* Study each objective and jointly decide how the learning will take place. Discussion is an important component of this style \n* Listen to the instruction the teacher is providing for the Command and Task students, if the objective is beyond the experience of both students \n* Consider what they know and what they don't know when selecting the amount and type of practice \n* Check each other's work \n* Declare the mark expected on each perception check \n* Do more than one perception check if the declared mark is not within the flexibility factor \n* Prepare a plan which will indicate how they are going to use their Earned Time."@en . . . .
