Flexing the Environment: Get them Engaged, Keep them Engaged

TEACHER A, B, AND C

Collaborative Groups vs. Group Work Has no clear definition of individual roles. Students just come together to complete a task. Students will not necessarily feel responsibility or accountability towards the product or the outcome. One student may end up completing most or all of the work, while others watch or misbehave. Students may be slow to start, unsure of how to begin. Set expectations ahead of time and model what a discussion should sound like or what the activity should look like Make clear who starts the activity/discussion Assign roles or tasks so that there is equal participation for all students Teach students to praise good ideas and to celebrate successes.

(Person whose first letter of their first name is closest to A in the alphabet, “COOL”)
