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
#1 Management Technique Quiet Signal
Qualities of a Good Quiet Signal:
• 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: What is It?
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.
Cooperative Learning: What is It?
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.

Six Key Concepts of Kagan’s Cooperative Learning
• Teams - participate in teams• Management - non-traditional classroom rules and
norms established• Will - Will to cooperate through structures• Skill - Social Skills• Principles - P.I.E.S.• Structures - Teambuilding, Classbuilding, Mastery,
Thinking Skills, Communication Skills, and Information Sharing
Benefits for StudentsTraditional Cooperative
Only task emphasized Task and maintenance emphasized
Social skills assumed and ignored Social skills directly taught
Teacher ignores or assumes group functioning
Teacher observes and intervenes
No group processing Group process their effectiveness
No interdependence Positive Interdependence
Homogeneous Heterogeneous
No individual accountability Individual accountability
One appointed leader Shared leadership
Responsibility only for self Shared responsibility for each other
ManagementNorms
• Use words and actions that are respectful• Contribute to the work of the group• Share Talk Time• Listen to Understand• Challenge Ideas, Not People• Share your experiences, thoughts, and knowledge• Ask Questions

• Four Basic Principles : P.I.E.S.
Positive Interdependence
Individual Accountability Equal Participation Simultaneous Interaction
How Do I Assure Positive Interdependence
• Model group behavior
• Give students precise verbiage to use
• Practice, practice, practice
• Model, model, model
How Do I Assure Individual Accountability?
• Create smaller group sizes. • Give individual assessments.• Periodically check for understanding –
student reports for another’s Point of View.
• Observe groups and record progress and contributions.
• Ask groups to assess team performance.
How Do I Assure Equal Participation & Simultaneous Interaction
Question to AskEqual Participation: How equal is the
participation? What structures are you using?
Simultaneous Interaction: What percent of the class are active participants at any one moment?
StructuresClassbuilder – once a week
Teambuilder – twice a week
