How do you identify talented student-teachers? And how can the Students as Teachers programme not only support students but also lighten your workload? Lecturer Jip Gudden shares his experience.
“Student-teachers bring something unique – something we, as regular lecturers, simply don’t have: the authentic student perspective. They know exactly what it’s like to take the same course and can guide their peers in an accessible and relatable way.”
But how do you recognize these students, and where do you start? “Look for those who thrive during presentations, who energize others. Often, a small push is all it takes.”
