My goal for this school year is to utilize more collaborative learning in my classroom. I love collaborative learning because students are helping and learning from each other as well as the teacher. By working at tables students will be able to collaborate easily. Tables will also help with organization which is important in a classroom. Working at tables will also build a sense of community. Having a good community will increase students' engagement and success in the classroom. Students benefit more when they can learn from their peers as well as their teacher. I am excited to see how my new community grows.
