There is so much power is group collaboration but many teachers shy away from it because of the prep and management needed! I am thrilled that you are going to give it a try.

I hate just sticking to the textbook, especially in math, and can't wait to have a classroom in which I don't have to constantly be dealing with noise management and in which kids are having fun! I think this definitely applies to upper elementary grades as well, and has definitely made me rethink about just diving in to group collaborations at the start of the year! I agree with you about having to first establish those expectations, and I will now just begin the year with partner work before I move on to small group. Thanks again! Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
