  1. Cooperative Learning Dual Language Team Gattis Elementary

  2. Group Activity • Think of an animal that can represent the concept of Cooperative Learning (CL). • For example, bees work together to produce honey. They have distinctive jobs and duties to accomplish their goal. • With your group, share your animals and negotiate which one will be used for the group. • Sketch the animal in the sheet of paper provided.

  3. Why Use CL? Research shows… • Active learning; uses teamwork and social skills to complete projects. • Promotes mastery through integration of all language skills (L,S,R,W). • Effective learning (Kagan, 1994) and retention. • Enhance student satisfaction with their learning experience through communication and sharing. • Students in classrooms where teachers ask them to work cooperatively in a socioculturally supportive environment do better academically than students in classes taught more traditionally (Collier & Thomas, 2009).

  4. Elements of CL

  5. Strategies • Turn & Talk • Think-Pair-Share • Clarify/Verify • Read and/or Write Pair Share (pair journal writing)

  6. Turn & Talk Video Pose open-ended questions that promote discussion and reflection. Plan questions Allow children to speak to each other WITHOUT interruption. Amount of time for discussion is based on age. Have a few groups/pairs report to the group.

  7. Think-Pair-Share Video Review earlier understandings and clarify ideas w/peer. Supports collaboration and learning continuity. Organize thoughts Eliminates uncertainty and fear Questions that encourage thinking rather than questions with one right answer.

  8. Verify/Clarify Video Express their ideas related to the concept or topic at the end of a lesson in a comfortable environment. Reflect on knowledge by explaining their understanding of the concepts to their peers. Clarify concepts, use academic vocabulary, and foster critical thinking. Teachers can determine to what extent students are internalizing the information to provide immediate feedback.

  9. Read/Write Pair Share Video (Echevarria, 2009)
