Effective Grouping Strategies…

Some think cooperative learning, working in groups, station teaching and differentiation are all the same, yet they all have specific reasons for their use and different intended outcomes.  Cooperative learning has been around a long time and is often misused, and many who think they are having students work in cooperative groups are not. I was trained in cooperative learning over twenty years ago, and I can tell you it takes practice and exquisite classroom management skills to pull it off successfully accomplishing intended learning goals.  We can train your teachers how to manage the cooperative group learning environment, how to set it up, and how to plan and choose appropriate learning activities that would be supported by this teaching strategy.
