Document Summary
Low- achieving students may slow down high-achieving students. Some students may do all of the work while others do little (social loafing) Caution should be used so that average ability students don"t get lost as high-and low-ability students form relationships like those between student and teacher. Give students practice contributing to a team product. Assign students to specific roles within the group. Give all members a sense of importance. Don"t begin the year on a difficult tasks. Do team building at the level of the cooperative group (2-6 students) not at the level of the entire class. Work with students to help them become better listeners. Give students practice contributing to a common product. Work with team learners as they deal with problems. Program emphasis: useses adults as role models, children teaching children, online computer consultation. This approach fosters culture of learning, caring, sharing, and the production of work that is shared with others.
