I choose Cooperative Learning because the students can have social roles and that helps students learn how to get along in a group situation where they are learning and helping each other. This truly engages students and gets all students involved. Students are held accountable for their learning. I've seen it work in my classroom!

I agree that Cooperative Learning and giving students the opportunity to have a social role in the learning is important. Students need to learn how to get along with others in academic and social settings, that is a life skill. They learn so much from each other in these cooperative learning groups, they are beneficial and engaging to children.

I would also choose Cooperative Learning groups because it helps students learn good socialization skills among other important skills. Students also have individual accountability and group accountability in Cooperative Learning. When the groups discuss topics among themselves, they can discuss without fear of others debating or stifling their voice.

I choose cooperative learning social roles. This is important because it allows students to take a role on as a team. With this role they have a task to complete to insure the success of a project that is due as a team. Each member is accountable and if they do not work together the project fails. Therefore, these roles drives them to work together to ensure the success of the end project.

In my high school level math class I grouped students in table groups rather than in individual desks. I had to convince my administrators at the time that this would not lead to rampant copying and cheating before I was allowed to gear my instruction in this manner. During class instruction I built in practice problems from the day's "homework" for students to work on in class. Within each table group I assigned one high, 2 median, and 1 lower level learner. I also created lower/median and median/high pairings. The higher level learner was assigned the role of checker or dispute buster whenever the group couldn't come to consensus. The lower level learner was given the role of questioner or reporter whenever the group had to provide a response back to the wider class discussion. The median learners were given the role of recorder or monitor of work products. These were the primary roles assigned. Students were encouraged to work together to complete practice problems in class. When the groups worked well, they could do the practice problems, check for understanding, and complete their "homework" during the class period. They liked this! My students also had the highest level of completed assignments within the department. During formal assessments we put up "sight blockers" and never had an incident with cheating. The students in my classes performed as well and better than students in other classes. Most significantly, my lowest level learners consistently made the highest learning gains! I would encourage even high school level math teachers to incorporate cooperative learning opportunities in their teaching!

I chose cooperative social roles. I teach 5th grade and giving each person a role holds them accountable for their part. It allows students to contribute to the group by having an end goal. Teaching them the social roles and how to use them is the first task. Also, teaching them how to use accountable talk helps them to facilitate the groups.
