This paper reviews the literature on peer tutoring and other experiences that may interest secondary students in careers in special education, and notes the efficacy and cost-effectiveness of such programs. Examples of current programs are given, including a variation which integrates athletes with and without mental retardation. The potential recruitment benefits available through Future Teacher Clubs and similar extra-curricular programs are also discussed. A list of 16 readings on peer tutoring is attached. (PB)
