Collaborative learning can be one of the most powerful tools in the classroom-when it works well. This session equips educators with strategies to effectively design, facilitate, and manage student collaborative groups. Participants will explore how to group students purposefully, teach collaboration skills explicitly, and address common challenges such as unequal participation and off-task behavior. Through real-world examples, tools, and discussion, teachers will leave better prepared to foster meaningful student collaboration that promotes engagement, accountability, and deeper learning.
