Students Teaching Teachers
Chuang, Hsueh-Hua; Thompson, Ann
Educational Leadership, v63 n4 p70-71 Dec 2005-Jan 2006
The well-known GenYES (www.genyes.com) mentoring model, which originated in Washington State's Olympia School District in 1996, makes teachers and students collaborative partners in learning. This program has developed and implemented an instructional technology support model that includes authentic involvement of students in grades 3-12. Instead of having teachers take online courses or attend workshops or college courses for professional development in technology integration, the program makes it possible for students to mentor teachers and serve as resources at the teachers' schools. In this article, the authors explain the process of this model and discuss the benefits of implementing it to classroom environments.
