Peer leader perspectives from a PLTL implementation in a Hispanic-serving institution.

ABSTRACT: Peer-Led Team Learning (PLTL) is a pedagogical approach that has been shown to benefit all students, especially underrepresented minority students and peer leaders in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) disciplines.
