"In this strategy, two peers are partnered based on shared circumstances or common proficiency needs (even in two disciplines, e.g., partnering a students strong in math and weak in science with someone weak in math and strong in science). All students are given tutor training in advance of launching the program. As needed, teachers model tutoring skills specific to the academic goals at hand, which are always shared with students. Teachers define the skills to be practiced in a tutoring session, and then leave most decisions (topic, pacing, evaluating performance, etc.) the students for greater effect. The teacher instead focuses on monitoring the class and delivering remediation as needed." Bold School, Kieschnick pg. 112
