Which term describes students supporting one another academically or socially?

• A. Peer Support
• B. Check-Ins
• C. Discussion Style Changes
• D. Collaborative Discipline / Rules

Answer: (A)

When students help each other academically or socially, that is peer support. It describes mutual aid among students—things like study groups, tutoring, collaborative learning, and encouraging one another—which builds a sense of belonging and shared responsibility for learning. This goes beyond overseeing behavior or checking in on students.

Check-ins are quick reports or questions a teacher uses to gauge mood or progress, not about ongoing mutual aid among peers. Discussion style changes focus on how conversations happen in class, not specifically on students supporting each other. Collaborative discipline or rules centers on shared norms for behavior, which is about structure and accountability rather than the ongoing peer-driven support described here.
