Strategy #1
““Group Work”Group Work”
*Group work is one of the most essential
skills our students need going into ‘the big
wide world’*
GOOD group work is one of the BEST
things we can do.
BAD group work is one of the most
damaging things in your classroom
Good group work has built in accountability
for everyone in the group. There is
accountability to both the group and the
individual.
The GROUP has a goal to meet
The INDIVIDUAL is having their
performance assessed or evaluated.
It is VERY important to teach
appropriate skills BEFORE the
group is expected to work
together.
Don’t ASSUME anything.
Strategy #2
TRIBESTRIBES
"a democratic group process, not just a
curriculum or set of cooperative activities." A
'process' is a sequence of events that lead to
the achievement of an outcome. The outcome
of the Tribes® process is to develop a positive
environment that promotes human growth and
learning."
