Peer coaching is designed to support students in achieving success in their classes and extracurricular activities. It does this by creating a collaborative learning environment, providing support during difficult times, and reducing stress and frustration. To do this, students seeking
support are matched with fellow students who act as their peer coach. Sometimes students are looking for help dealing with peer pressure.
Or they may need help collaborating with diverse team members. Sometimes the conflict between members prohibits anyone from getting
any work done. Coaches might share their strategies for success, encourage their peers to reflect on their current habits and behaviors, and
help them identify ways to overcome their challenges.
