Learning Target
I can improve student engagement and content understanding through the use of cooperative learning principles.
Goals
Engage in studying cooperative learning and multiple intelligences Explore the benefits for students
Practice several structures to use in your classroom
Students can SEE it from anywhere in the room. Students can HEAR it when they are interacting in teams. It's not overly annoying when used 15 times in one day! Students know how to spread the quiet signal to others. Room should be quiet within 3 to 5 seconds. If it takes longer, it's not working.
Samples:
Hand Raised Up Freeze Please 5, 4, 3, 2, 1
Value Line
Agree or Disagree: I use cooperative learning in my classroom. 10= all the time 1= not at all
Value Lines
1. A statement is announced and students take a stand on an imaginary line which stretches from one end of the classroom to another. Strongest agree= 10 Strongest disagree = 1 2. Students line up with out talking 3. Students listen to similar point of views (those standing next to them in line) 4. Value line can be folded to make groups of 2 or 4.
Cooperative learning is a successful teaching strategy in which small teams, each with students of varying abilities, use a variety of learning activities to improve their understanding of a subject.
Each member of a team is responsible not only for learning what is taught, but also for helping teammates learn, thus creating an atmosphere of achievement.
