In this article, the authors describe a unique approach to gaining high student involvement in advanced and MBA level business courses. Most participation occurs at the discussion and activity levels, with the instructor as the "director" who plans, implements, monitors, and evaluates activities. In a student-partner approach, students are brought into the planning process and asked to participate in the design and implementation of course components. Their participation draws on their experience and expertise as "learners" in the education process. This article provides a framework for implementing such an approach and includes a model case experience.
