| Abstract: |
The authors call for a paradigm shift away from thinking of student peer educators as junior employees and toward thinking of them as colleagues, capable of many higher-order responsibilities and duties. Our services become more learner-centered when we fully engage peer educators in our work - not just in the delivery of services, but in program development, assessment and evaluation, outreach, peer training, and research. The authors suggest that this paradigm is central to the work practitioners do in the field. Moreover, implementing this paradigm is a way of conceptualizing our own work and profession, not an add-on to our work. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
