Q1. How do you incorporate cooperative activities into your year? #espechat Beginning middle end or periodically

CoachPirillo Apr 4 @ 8:07 PM EDT

A1. I have large class sizes so we have a lot of partner activities where the Ss work together. So mostly all year. #espechat

Mr_C_PE Apr 4 @ 8:07 PM EDT

Usually do a coop. unit every yr in some capacity. Sometimes in the beg, sometimes middle, but always some leading up to Field Day #espechat

In reply to @CoachPirillo

jcmonluxpe Apr 4 @ 8:07 PM EDT

A1 I use them all year long. Heavily at the beginning then bring them back again when we come back from any breaks. #espechat

Fawcettkc Apr 4 @ 8:08 PM EDT

#espechat A1 I start with cooperatives, and on Friday's I see my kids on a quarterly rotation, so most Friday's too

MrPicha_PE Apr 4 @ 8:08 PM EDT

A1 heavy in the beginning, then periodically rest of year. #espechat

Mr_C_PE Apr 4 @ 8:08 PM EDT

A1) Usually do a coop. unit every yr in some capacity. Sometimes in the beg, sometimes mid,but always some leading up to Field Day #espechat

scottmielepe Apr 4 @ 8:08 PM EDT

A1 as much as possible! Design and teach the skill through a cooperative activity! #espechat

CoachW_TCE Apr 4 @ 8:08 PM EDT

A1 students are often working with groups and partners, but aren't necessarily working on cooperative activities. #espechat

CoachPirillo Apr 4 @ 8:08 PM EDT

Thats a great idea before field day. #espechat

In reply to @Mr_C_PE

PhysEdFreak Apr 4 @ 8:09 PM EDT

A1: I use coop activities at the beginning of the year. Great way to establish culture of respect, teamwork and other values #espechat

CoachW_TCE Apr 4 @ 8:09 PM EDT

But they're still working cooperatively! #espechat

Mr_C_PE Apr 4 @ 8:09 PM EDT

A1 (Cont): Coop. activities are some of the most valuable lessons we teach. So many teachable moments and parallels to real world #espechat

jcmonluxpe Apr 4 @ 8:09 PM EDT

I try this, but am not always able to make the two work together. I would love to hear some of your ideas. #espechat

In reply to @scottmielepe

BCFutureTeacher Apr 4 @ 8:09 PM EDT

A1: As much as possible! In kindergarten we are often working on social skills so I try to do groups/partners in some capacity. #espechat

CoachPirillo Apr 4 @ 8:10 PM EDT

Kind of the same with me. Though they are working together so I feel it is cooperative. #espechat

In reply to @CoachW_TCE

ILESPhysEd Apr 4 @ 8:10 PM EDT

A1 throughout the year. I do a team cooperation unit towards the end when behaviors problems start to occur #espechat

CoachAllen40 Apr 4 @ 8:10 PM EDT

Usually at the beginning but some at the end also. #espechat

In reply to @CoachPirillo

Mr_C_PE Apr 4 @ 8:10 PM EDT

Partner/group work always inherently has some level of cooperation going on! #espechat

In reply to @CoachW_TCE

MsTuckerRocksPE Apr 4 @ 8:11 PM EDT

A1: Periodically. Ss are often lacking teamwork & basic respect & kindness..I try to do them quarterly #espechat

CoachPirillo Apr 4 @ 8:06 PM EDT

Q1. How do you incorporate cooperative activities into your year? #espechat Beginning middle end or periodically

CoachPirillo Apr 4 @ 8:11 PM EDT

Defiantly agree. So many moments. #espechat

In reply to @Mr_C_PE

bobcatsPE Apr 4 @ 8:11 PM EDT

A1. Start the year off with coop act, but revisit them w/every new unit as well. #espechat

Lauriep717 Apr 4 @ 8:11 PM EDT

A1 start my year with a unit and then do various activities throughout year #espechat

CoachPirillo Apr 4 @ 8:13 PM EDT

Q2. How often do you plan for cooperative activities? #espechat

physeducator15 Apr 4 @ 8:13 PM EDT

A1: Used coop learning at the beginning of my student teaching to get to know Ss & to see current level of cooperation the Ss had.#ESPEchat

MsTuckerRocksPE Apr 4 @ 8:13 PM EDT

A1: After we did routines/procedures in Aug, we did cooperative activities to set the climate for the yr. #espechat

CoachPirillo Apr 4 @ 8:06 PM EDT

Q1. How do you incorporate cooperative activities into your year? #espechat Beginning middle end or periodically

PhysEdFreak Apr 4 @ 8:13 PM EDT

Agreed 1000%! So many opportunities to teach critical thinking and instill values and traits that transcend our classroom #espechat

In reply to @Mr_C_PE

Mr_C_PE Apr 4 @ 8:13 PM EDT

Thanks. Cooperation is a big part of FD. We have a whole event area dedicated to coop activities that students rotate through #espechat

In reply to @CoachPirillo

jcmonluxpe Apr 4 @ 8:14 PM EDT

A2: I plan them as often as I can make them fit. I try for most to have some form of coop. Some more successful than others #espechat

PhysEdFreak Apr 4 @ 8:14 PM EDT

Great thinking! I've always used it as my first unit to avoid behavior problems. never thought about end of year as a "re-set" #espechat

In reply to @ILESPhysEd

BCFutureTeacher Apr 4 @ 8:14 PM EDT

I would love to hear some activities you use to help with respect and kindness to use as community builders in the beginning. #espechat

In reply to @MsTuckerRocksPE

CoachPirillo Apr 4 @ 8:14 PM EDT

A2. I think most of us answered this already but do you put them in as learning targets for Ss in the lesson plan? #espechat

Mr_C_PE Apr 4 @ 8:15 PM EDT

A2) I've compiled a good repertoire of activities over the years for different focuses within the realm of cooperation #espechat

Fawcettkc Apr 4 @ 8:15 PM EDT

#espechat A2- I try to make my activities cooperative when possible. Team work makes the dream work

veropeteacher Apr 4 @ 8:15 PM EDT

#espechat A1) I use Coop activities throughout the year; during some units more than others

Lauriep717 Apr 4 @ 8:15 PM EDT

A2 I try to plan at least one coop. activity a week. I see classes 2x a week for 45 min. #espechat

pewithmrc Apr 4 @ 8:16 PM EDT

A2. I plan for it at the start of the year when Ss are still learning new classmates. Happens sporadically rest of the year #espechat

Lauriep717 Apr 4 @ 8:16 PM EDT

A2 however, kids do work in groups during every lesson though #espechat

jcmonluxpe Apr 4 @ 8:16 PM EDT

Absolutely. I also tell my Ss. Ss must know what is expected and what I am looking for. #espechat

In reply to @CoachPirillo

ILESPhysEd Apr 4 @ 8:17 PM EDT

A2 whenever it's possible I try to put in coop activities to have my students work on team work and accomplish a goal together #espechat

veropeteacher Apr 4 @ 8:17 PM EDT

#espechat A2) Not as often as I should

physeducator15 Apr 4 @ 8:17 PM EDT

A2: Affective domain SOL's and objectives are used in lesson plans and assessed when coop. activities occur. #espechat

CoachW_TCE Apr 4 @ 8:17 PM EDT

A2 I think it would be valuable to be more purposeful in how often cooperative activities are used #espechat

Fawcettkc Apr 4 @ 8:17 PM EDT

#espechat A2.0- my learning targets focus on collaboration and cooperation with others

CoachPirillo Apr 4 @ 8:17 PM EDT

Q2.1 Do you let Ss pick partner or assign them? #espechat

In reply to @veropeteacher

Mr_C_PE Apr 4 @ 8:18 PM EDT

A2.1) Depends on activity. I tend to do a mixture of both during coop. unit and all other units as well. #espechat

PhysEdFreak Apr 4 @ 8:18 PM EDT

A2: "traditional" coop activities is 1st unit but EVERY unit starts w/ collaborative activity before competitive to develop skill #espechat

In reply to @CoachPirillo

CoachPirillo Apr 4 @ 8:19 PM EDT

A2.1 Some times a let Ss pick others I use teamshake or @physedreview team cards he made. #espechat

Lauriep717 Apr 4 @ 8:19 PM EDT

A2.1. I vary how I pick-sometimes I pick them, sometimes them, and other times I use an app like Team shake #espechat

jcmonluxpe Apr 4 @ 8:19 PM EDT

A2: varies btwn letting them pick, I pick prior, random selection, purposely not w choice, pick part of group. #espechat Depends on focus.

MrPicha_PE Apr 4 @ 8:19 PM EDT

A2.1 depends on the class. Some groups I need to make the groups, others can handle choosing own partners/groups #espechat

Physedmanrising Apr 4 @ 8:19 PM EDT

A2 Let students decide unless their is a behavior concern. Student choice is huge. #espechat

smsandino Apr 4 @ 8:19 PM EDT

A1 Normally I like to do cooperative activities in the beg., mid. & end. This year I was surprised w locker distribution at the ms #espechat

CoachW_TCE Apr 4 @ 8:19 PM EDT

A2 sometimes use team shake, sometimes count students off for teams, most of the time is quickest for them to pick #espechat

CoachPirillo Apr 4 @ 8:20 PM EDT

Q3. What are some of your favorite cooperative activities? #espechat

veropeteacher Apr 4 @ 8:20 PM EDT

#espechat A2.1) I let Ss pick partners, my only requirement is boy/girl, or teams of 2B/1G, 2G/1B or 2B/2G

bobcatsPE Apr 4 @ 8:20 PM EDT

A2.When Ss listen and follow directions,show respect to each other and give compliments,I consider that a coop act and praise them #espechat

Fawcettkc Apr 4 @ 8:20 PM EDT

#espechat A2.1- most activities S pick partners, cooperatives I assign groups, but it all depends on the class

ILESPhysEd Apr 4 @ 8:20 PM EDT

A2.1 I switch it up. Sometimes I let my Ss pick and other times I will pick for them #espechat

coachdsanchez2 Apr 4 @ 8:20 PM EDT

A2.1 older ss usually pick their own. I sometimes pick for younger #espechat

MrPicha_PE Apr 4 @ 8:21 PM EDT

A3 cross the river and sally sit-up are two of my faves #espechat

CoachPirillo Apr 4 @ 8:21 PM EDT

A3 So many to choose from. Most of activities on my YouTube channel deal with partners and having to cooperate with them. #espechat

MsTuckerRocksPE Apr 4 @ 8:21 PM EDT

@BCFutureTeacher "Stranded"- Ss use equipment given to get team across gym/can only use kind words #espechat

CoachPirillo Apr 4 @ 8:28 PM EDT

Q4. What constitutes an activity to being a cooperative activity rather than a teamwork activity? #espechat

A4. I feel when Ss are striving to reach a certain goal together not just to win a game/activity #espechat

CoachW_TCE Apr 4 @ 8:33 PM EDT

A4 I think of cooperation as "working together so everyone can get better". Does team work accomplish this? Not always #espechat

rich_wiles - Moderator Apr 4 @ 8:33 PM EDT

A4. A team can be put together and function with directions and Coop has members that have equal decision making process to goal. #espechat

#espechat A5 - coop activities result in fewer they're-cheating's. And after class conference abt coops a deeper understanding of teamwork

Mr_C_PE Apr 4 @ 8:40 PM EDT

My students were super engaged with it, so that wasn't an issue for me. They had never done this before. The brain loves novelty #espechat

Mr_C_PE Apr 4 @ 8:42 PM EDT

A6) Made my own "Toxic Waste Transfer" set, "Radioactive Atom" set. Look to catalogs for inspiration and then make your own. #espechat

PEbyMrE Apr 4 @ 8:42 PM EDT

A5: Find it interesting to see when the light bulb goes on when Ss realize if they didn't help their team & what they need to do #espechat

CoachW_TCE Apr 4 @ 8:43 PM EDT

A6 I love jump bands. Can be done with partners holding jump ropes instead of bands on ankles. #espechat

jcmonluxpe Apr 4 @ 8:43 PM EDT

A6: everything I already have. 1 activity is move all eqpt across basketball court. Each round has different parameters to follow.#espechat

In reply to @pewithmrc, @PEbyMrE

PEbyMrE Apr 4 @ 8:47 PM EDT

I was able to convince my principal to purchase a 9 square in the air out of pvc - other small stuff I'd pay out of pocket #espechat

CoachW_TCE Apr 4 @ 8:49 PM EDT

A7 if a coop activity goes poorly it can be useful to group discussion. I think in most cases that is what's desired at first #espechat

In reply to @CoachPirillo

jcmonluxpe Apr 4 @ 8:49 PM EDT

A7: formally w exit ticket where they rate each member in group including themselves 1-5 on rubric and say why for older Ss. #espechat

Mr_C_PE Apr 4 @ 8:49 PM EDT

That is apparently a notion that is gaining steam in some places...I'm gonna keep doing it until my coordinator tells me not to #espechat

In reply to @CoachPirillo, @pewithmrc, @PEbyMrE

smsandino Apr 4 @ 8:49 PM EDT

A6 Pool noodles can also be used as "helium stick" -ss have one finger on pool noodle & lower it to the ground while keeping 👆🏼 on #espechat

A7 if a coop activity goes poorly it can be useful to group discussion. I think in most cases that is what's desired at first #espechat

A7: I remind them we are working on the process, not the end goal; review how can we make our teams successful in the process #espechat

Mr_C_PE Apr 4 @ 8:50 PM EDT

1000%. If you're willing to do the work, why not? Saving the district money and it will benefit your Ss. Its a win/win #espechat

In reply to @PEbyMrE

Fawcettkc Apr 4 @ 8:51 PM EDT

#espechat a7- immediate assessment is oral feedback on how S think can improve the outcome, delayed feedback comes w behavior next class

PhysEdFreak Apr 4 @ 8:51 PM EDT

A7: turn and talks, whole group debriefs, Plickers exit tickets...also revisit by checking interactions in subsequent units #espechat

In reply to @CoachPirillo

Mr_C_PE Apr 4 @ 8:51 PM EDT

A7) Mainly observation of whether or not they are demonstrating those ADROP characteristics I shared during diff. activites #espechat

CoachW_TCE Apr 4 @ 8:52 PM EDT

A7 the struggle of the activity is what's valuable to cooperation #espechat

rich_wiles - Moderator Apr 4 @ 8:52 PM EDT

Mr_C_PE Apr 4 @ 8:52 PM EDT

A7) I keep a running tally for how many reminders each S has needed for each particular ADROP characteristic throughout the unit #espechat

smsandino Apr 4 @ 8:52 PM EDT

A7 Knowing where ss stand via magnets. Something to the extent of- Didn't contribute, sometimes contributed, always contributed #espechat

ObiAtkinson Apr 4 @ 8:52 PM EDT

A7 I try to use exit slips with their opinions which I can use for the next cooperating activity we do #espechat
