Summary:
"This book shows you how to teach K-12 students to work in pairs and groups more effectively, so that true collaboration can happen in the classroom. Coming from their experience in social work and classroom teaching, Christina M. Krantz and Laura Gullette Smith explain the problems that can occur with traditional think-pair-share models and offer refreshing solutions. They provide practical strategies on helping students build collegial peer relationships, learn to share tasks, and hold deeper discussions. Each chapter offers useful strategies you can implement immediately. This book includes an invaluable appendix of resources the authors share when leading workshops, as well as rubrics, agendas and classroom tools designed with the strategies covered in each chapter in mind"-- Provided by publisher.
