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

Melissa – Pilot (verified owner) –
This course was great. The only thing I found frustrating was that she kept referring to her handout and I did not have her handout…this was online. I only have an outline. It would have been fine to reference a page in the handout if she had displayed it on the screen, but she didn’t. I am a visual learner and I like to take notes, so if a handout were made available for download, I would download it, print it, and take notes!
