Group work is integral to any successful organization. In schools, group work can be fantastic or the source of much concern if teachers fail to establish sound practices. Concerns include, “Why am I getting the same grade as others when I did more work?” or “I was left out and didn’t have a clear role to play.” This year, our Middle School faculty collaborated to develop a set of group work norms. We’re very proud of them and we want your feedback to help iterate them.
They are…
* Launch the Project
* Group the Troops
* Cast the Characters
* Coach the Collaboration
* Measure the Learning
