What is the purpose of providing a peer tutor to a student with ongoing behavioral issues?

Providing a peer tutor to a student with ongoing behavioral issues primarily serves the purpose of enhancing the student’s instructional system. By pairing the student with a peer tutor, the educational environment can be tailored to better meet the individual needs of the student, focusing on their learning style and pace. This peer interaction encourages a supportive learning atmosphere, where the student may feel more comfortable asking questions and engaging with the material.

Additionally, this approach can help address behavioral issues by fostering a positive relationship between the student and the tutor, which can lead to improved engagement and participation in class activities. The peer tutor can model appropriate behavior and provide immediate feedback, reinforcing positive actions and helping the student navigate challenges in a constructive manner. This system of support aligns with the goal of creating an effective instructional framework that not only caters to academic needs but also supports behavioral development.
