Collaborative Learning

How Collaborative Learning Leads to Student Success

This article was about students reaching out to each other to share knowledge and help solve problems. Educators are finding that students are more successful in their collaboration skills and understanding. I should note, this article is discussing a college preparatory school for grades 9-12.

I feel collaborative learning should begin in elementary school. Positive collaborative learning promotes positive teamwork and student-led learning. Even it's just cleaning up after free choice, that's collaborative learning for my students. It's a great start for future activities because each person has a part they have to complete. I praise my students when they work well together and stop them when they just yell at each other and argue during group activities.
