Erasmus + KA1Let’s work and innovate together
COOPERATIVE LEARNING
Students are not all involved or on task:
Assign specific tasks to all students.
Groups are too noisy: Have students move closer together.
Members act out:
Use motivation tactics to hold each person responsible for his actions -- for example, remind students that their participation in the group and their individual work are both being graded.
Work is slow or incomplete:Work with students to set specific goals each day; have students create a timeline for their project and stick to it.

Step-by-Step Lesson Planning
Without a clear plan, cooperative learning can appear exhausting. However, a well-thought out strategy can make it work in almost any classroom.

A few additional essentials will help ensure that your groups find success in their work together:
•Set specific time frames for each phase of the unit
•Consider how the small groups represent the full spectrum of students and guide students in choosing roles that use their strengths and develop their weaker areas.
•Prepare sample collaborative activities.
•Consider how extracurricular activities can help.
•Discuss methods of making assessment a part of both students' and teachers' learning.
