  1. Module 1

  2. Who am I and who are you?

  3. How this class works: • Based on best practices • Cooperative learning TEAMS • Independent reading • Lots of discussion and sharing • NO “talking heads”

  4. Syllabus and schedule

  5. We Learn: • 10% of what we read • 20% of what we hear • 30% of what we see • 50% of what we both see and hear • 70% of what is discussed with others • 80% of what we experience personally • 95% of what we teach someone else William Glasser

  6. What is it? Cooperative learning is a successful teaching strategy in which small teams, each with students of different levels of ability, use a variety of learning activities to improve their understanding of a subject. Each member of a team is responsible not only for learning what is taught but also for helping teammates learn, thus creating an atmosphere of achievement. Students work through the assignment until all group members successfully understand and complete it. 

  7. Students . . . • gain from each other's efforts. (Your success benefits me and my success benefits you.) • recognize that all group members share a common fate. (We all sink or swim together here.) • know that one's performance is mutually caused by oneself and one's team members. (We can not do it without you.) • feel proud and jointly celebrate when a group member is recognized for achievement. (We all congratulate you on your accomplishment!).

  8. Three Musketeers: A TEAM Building Activity • Find three things that everyone on the team likes • Find three things that everyone on the team dislikes • Find one thing that is unique to each of the team members • Decide on a team name that has something to do with your collective likes and dislikes • Write your TEAM name on your “Table Tent”

  9. What makes a TEAM different than a group?

  10. What is a Team?Teams differ from groups because they include the following basic elements of cooperative learning: • Goals are shared • Information is circulated • Roles are assigned • Materials are managed • Teammates depend on each other to complete tasks successfully • Students gain respect for each other’s contributions to the team

  11. 5 Elements of Cooperative Learning 1. Positive Interdependence(sink or swim together) • Each group member's efforts are required and indispensable for group success • Each group member has a unique contribution to make to the joint effort because of his or her resources and/or role and task responsibilities

  12. 2. Face-to-Face Interaction(promote each other's success) • Orally explaining how to solve problems • Teaching one's knowledge to other • Checking for understanding • Discussing concepts being learned • Connecting present with past learning

  13. 3. Individual  & Group Accountability( no hitchhiking! no social loafing) • Keeping the size of the group small. The smaller the size of the group, the greater the individual accountability may be. • Giving an individual test to each student. • Randomly examining students orally by calling on one student to present his or her group's work to the teacher (in the presence of the group) or to the entire class. • Observing each group and recording the frequency with which each member-contributes to the group's work. • Assigning one student in each group the role of checker. The checker asks other group members to explain the reasoning and rationale underlying group answers. • Having students teach what they learned to someone else.

  14. 4. Interpersonal & Small-Group Skills • Social skills must be taught: • Leadership • Decision-making • Trust-building • Communication • Conflict-management skill

  15. 5. Group Processing • Group members discuss how well they are achieving their goals and maintaining effective working relationships • Describe what member actions are helpful and not helpful • Make decisions about what behaviors to continue or change

  16. How comfortable are you with special education? • Knowledge (terms, definitions, history, etc.)? • Attitude? • Organization? • Independently, complete Figure 1.7, then share with team members.

  17. What do we know about UDL? • Read article in your team • Share one thing that you learned with group

  18. What are multiple intelligences? • Linguistic • Logical-mathematical • Spatial • Bodily-kinesthetic • Musical • Interpersonal • Intrapersonal • Naturalistic

  19. 5 factors correlated with student achievement Socioeconomic status Family background Innate ability Student engagement and instructional time Quality of instruction Which do we have control over?????

  20. Why is Bloom’s Taxonomy so important in the field? • Knowledge • Comprehension • Application • Analysis • Synthesis • Evaluation
