Collaboration drives progress in every area of life and industry, and is an in-demand skill that students need-but modern education focuses almost exclusively on individual tasks and assessments that leave students unprepared for the collaborative world. Maybe it's because group work has been difficult to plan, manage, and assess. This title shows the dynamic possibilities that occur when students learn to work together, and discusses how to teach students to do it effectively so that teachers can actually love group work. The author shares tools, techniques, processes, and inspiration developed from his own classroom and from the insights and experience gained from master educators and industry leaders. This book will help you: effectively manage collaborative work time; design the optimal groups; help students give and receive constructive criticism; facilitate student-led collaborative class discussions; and empower all students to purposefully and meaningfully collaborate.
