This workshop focuses on cooperative learning, an instructional model that provides educators the opportunity to move into a classroom where students are responsible as a group for their learning. Within this model, students will develop a greater sense of responsibility through consistent interactions with their teacher and peers. Applied at all levels of education, cooperative learning has also been shown to increase self-esteem, improve peer-to-peer relationships, and develop critical thinking skills. 
Audience: All Educators (current and future)

  • Identify the key components of cooperative learning
