PD Pop: ~Cooperative Learning Methods in the Math Classroom (6-12) - Presented by Bill Reed

Do you use direct instruction as your primary method of teaching? Are you, the teacher, doing more talking in the classroom than the students? Do you want to see students take more responsibility for their learning? Join us to learn how students can collaborate with peers and not learn mathematics in isolation. You will learn and practice various Cooperative Learning techniques and strategies that will help you engage students and get them ALL actively involved in their learning. Cooperative Learning allows teachers to easily differentiate their classrooms so all students, including high ability and students with special needs, can participate and increase their retention and achievement for the subject they are learning. Cooperative Learning has been proven to help students develop better on-task behaviors, better attitude towards both the teacher and the subject they are learning, and a more positive attitude toward learning and understanding. During this session, teachers will create a plan to incorporate Cooperative Learning techniques and strategies into their classrooms. This live session will be recorded and available to registrants for 2 months after the live session.
