Using Small Groups Effectively
Wed., April 23, 10:30-12:00 noon
Bay Tree Conference Ctr.,
Esselen Nation (#352)
Ruth Harris-Barnett, CTE Director
Small groups provide opportunities for active participation by more students. In this session we’ll look at some ways to use groups both for short in-class activities, and for longer-term projects. We’ll address some of the more common problems: How do I keep groups on task? Should students get to choose their own groups? What do I do about group dominators and shirkers? How do I know they’re learning? We’ll also address ways of incorporating group work in large classes.
