  1. STUDENT COLLABORATION And the common core

  2. Setting the stage… • What kinds of collaboration are currently using in your classroom? • What are some of the roadblocks to collaboration you have experienced?

  3. Why Collaboration? • Students retain: • 20% of what they learn through visual and auditory means • 50% of what they learn through a demonstration or an exhibit • 70-90% of what they learn if they are giving a presentation, actively participating in a class discussion, actually doing the real thing, or teaching someone else

  4. Why Collaboration? Critical Thinking, Communication, Collaboration, Creativity

  5. Collaboration = Gradual Release of Responsibility

  6. So why is it so hard to get students to work in a group effectively? Groups require Clear Purpose and Procedures Equitable Roles Individual and Group Accountability Facilitation by teacher

  7. Effective Student Collaboration requires • Explicit Expectations • Positive Facilitation • Group and Individual Accountability

  8. Effective Student Collaboration requires Purposely establish groups. Determine if you want them heterogeneous or homogeneous, depending on your outcome. Vary the group size and duration to maintain novelty. Require students to sit face-to-face with other group members. This will keep them focused. Define roles within the group and have them practice with a less-taxing cognitive activity before asking them to do more demanding cognitive activities with the group. Structure the task to promote interdependence for any group product. One student alone should not be able to do the entire project without collaboration of the other group members. Provide directions for the task both orally and in written form. This will allow the group to review the requirements of the task if they have questions. Provide a rubric for the product before the group gets started. This will provide a guide for the group.

  9. Effective Student Collaboration requires General Strategies for Handling Conflict in Classrooms • Monitor groups throughout the activity to prevent conflicts. • SOAR (stop, observe, assess, react). • Ask open ended questions to refocus the group to the task at hand. • Acknowledge emotions (“I see that you’re upset,” or “I understand that this is a powerful topic for you”). • Focus dialogue on academic concepts rather than personal opinions. • Listen and restate perspectives, especially if one student is receiving all of the heat (“What I think ____ is trying to say is…”). • Meet individually with students if necessary.

  10. Effective Student Collaboration requires • Require some form of groupaccountability at the end of each group meeting and individual accountability at given time throughout the activity (half-way and end, or when there seems to be a conflict starting). Some might include: • Exit tickets—ask one or two key content or reflective questions (group or individual) • Process analysis reflections (group or individual) • Self-reflection (individual)
