2019 ASCA Webinar Series: Peer Intervention: A Tier 1 Strategy
Peer helping has been well-researched as an effective
method for helping at-risk students as a Tier 1 support strategy.
Researchers discovered that establishing a peer program promotes developmental assets
in youth, shows effectiveness in reducing at-risk behavior in youth, leads to
reductions in alcohol use and tobacco use more than teacher-led
programs, shows a decline in fighting, fosters desirable learning and behavioral
change and shows
effectiveness in developing a thriving
community. Participants will hear from a student in a peer leadership program who will share
experiences, involvement and why peer leaders are an asset to the
school environment.

1. Examine how peer programs can be established whether using advisory program, peer program standards and/or a well-researched curriculum.
