Peer Assisted Learning (PAL) was developed at the University of Minnesota in 2006 to meet needs of students enrolled in STEM and other historically-difficult courses. The PAL program drew upon best practices from ESP, PLTL, and SI along with emerging learning practices to develop a model to meet high expectations placed upon it by the faculty and administrators. Quantitative and qualitative studies reveal not only academic benefits for participating students, but also academic, vocational, and personal benefits for the students who serve as the PAL facilitators.
