Making Cooperative Learning Work
Captions available
The idea
Cooperative learning works when groups have time to work together, are taught collaboration skills, are held accountable as a group and as individuals, and value cooperation.
In practice
A teacher names each member's contribution so every student has equal status.
Where people slip
Social prejudice can creep into groups, and rich tasks that need diverse skills help every member contribute.
