Cooperative Learning, sometimes called small-group learning, is an instructional strategy in which small groups of students work together on a common task. The students in my classroom currently work at long, rectangular tables that are not conducive to "teams" of students working together efficiently. We have many students with speech and/or cognitive delays, social/emotional delays or some who may be learning English for the first time. These students and others would benefit from working in smaller, cooperative groupings. When classrooms have trapezoid tables, they can be configured into smaller learning stations very easily, such as hexagon-shaped tables. When you contribute to this project, you will be helping our 5 and 6-year-old students learn more cooperatively and effectively while working at trapezoid/hexagon learning stations. You will also be helping our teachers, paraprofessionals, and specialists work more closely in smaller groups. Our hands-on and multi-sensory materials will also be shared and dispensed much easier. When implemented well, cooperative learning encourages achievement, student discussion, active learning, student confidence, and motivation. The skills students develop while collaborating with others are different from the skills students develop while working independently. Thank you very much for contributing to this project!
