A5 Make sure Ss feel safe not threatened in any way. It inhibits Ss which works against the Cooperative Classroom.

A5) not necessarily a new insight but recently reminded of this. You have to plan for structures when first starting.

That is critical. Otherwise, achievement gaps increase when it's just group work.
