Description
To group or not to group? That is a question faced each day by educators as administrators continue to encourage small group learning in the classroom.

In this 1-hour course, you will learn:
- The different types of grouping
- How to determine if groups are appropriate for a specific lesson
- The skills students need to operate effectively in groups
- Roles and resources for group work
- How to encourage team identity
- Assessment tools for group learning
