| Summary |
I really like it when we can talk in class," says Kelly in Year 8, grinning from ear to ear when I suggest a group activity on a grey Monday morning. Although I suspect that she might like it for the wrong reasons, I know that there is a lot for her and the other 29 students in the class to learn in a structured co-operative learning context.' Gael Luzet's Pocketbook about small group work focuses on how the power of more than one' can transform learning. Like all good teaching and learning strategies, successful collaborative learning relies on meticulous planning and careful delivery |
