Who am I and who are you?
How this class works:Based on best practicesCooperative learning TEAMSIndependent readingLots of discussion and sharingNO “talking heads”
Syllabus and schedule
We Learn:10% of what we read20% of what we hear30% of what we see50% of what we both see and hear
70% of what is discussed with others
80% of what we experience personally
95% of what we teach someone else

What is it?Cooperative learning is a successful teaching
strategy in which small teams, each with students of different levels of ability, 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. Students work through the assignment until all group members successfully understand and complete it.
Students . . .gain from each other's efforts. (Your success
benefits me and my success benefits you.)recognize that all group members share a
common fate. (We all sink or swim together here.)
know that one's performance is mutually caused by oneself and one's team members. (We can not do it without you.)
feel proud and jointly celebrate when a group member is recognized for achievement. (We all congratulate you on your accomplishment!).
Three Musketeers: A TEAM Building Activity
1. Find three things that everyone on the team likes
2. Find three things that everyone on the team dislikes
3. Find one thing that is unique to each of the team members
4. Decide on a team name that has something to do with your collective likes and dislikes
5. Write your TEAM name on your “Table Tent”
What makes a TEAM different than a group?
What is a Team?Teams differ from groups because they include the following basic elements of cooperative learning:
Goals are shared Information is circulatedRoles are assignedMaterials are managedTeammates depend on each other to complete tasks
successfullyStudents gain respect for each other’s contributions
to the team
5 Elements of Cooperative Learning1. Positive Interdependence
(sink or swim together) Each group member's efforts are required and
indispensable for group successEach group member has a unique contribution
to make to the joint effort because of his or her resources and/or role and task responsibilities
2. Face-to-Face Interaction (promote each other's success)
Orally explaining how to solve problemsTeaching one's knowledge to otherChecking for understandingDiscussing concepts being learnedConnecting present with past learning
3. Individual & Group Accountability( no hitchhiking! no social loafing)
Keeping the size of the group small. The smaller the size of the group, the greater the individual accountability may be.
Giving an individual test to each student.Randomly examining students orally by calling on one
student to present his or her group's work to the teacher (in the presence of the group) or to the entire class.
Observing each group and recording the frequency with which each member-contributes to the group's work.
Assigning one student in each group the role of checker. The checker asks other group members to explain the reasoning and rationale underlying group answers.
Having students teach what they learned to someone else.
4. Interpersonal & Small-Group Skills Social skills must be taught:
LeadershipDecision-makingTrust-buildingCommunicationConflict-management skill
5. Group Processing Group members discuss how well they are
achieving their goals and maintaining effective working relationships
Describe what member actions are helpful and not helpful
Make decisions about what behaviors to continue or change
How comfortable are you with special education?Knowledge (terms, definitions, history, etc.)?Attitude?Organization?
Independently, complete Figure 1.7, then share with team members.
