Abstract
This double ‘Nut and Bolts’ session will bring together a panel of Peer Assisted
Study Sessions (PASS) practitioners to lead a discussion on key issues relating to the implementation of PASS programs in the Australian context. PASS programs
currently support student learning across 25 Australian tertiary institutions,
offering peer-led group study sessions in selected subjects across a broad range
of disciplines. Providing effective peer learning experiences for students requires a strategic approach to the coordination, implementation, and evaluation of all aspects of the program. This session will cover three important areas of such a strategic approach: consideration of institutional, political, and evaluative factors; recruitment and training of PASS Leaders; and their ongoing personal and professional development. Through this shared discussion it is hoped that participants will better understand PASS and its implementation across higher education in Australia, and importantly develop a network of PASS contacts for further advice and professional discussion.
