    Cooperative learning- put kids in teams of 4 based on 4 different skill levels. Lots of activities. #weirded

    not sure the definition is in there, but if group work is involved, we include it. #weirded

    Time for Q2 of #weirded jumping to Monty Python... How do you as a teacher help facilitate group work? Split jobs? assign roles?

    I just stick kids in random groups for rotating centers. If ambitious, I'll do a Kagan structure. That's very rare. #weirded

  • GeoJo22 Mar 22 @ 10:21 PM EDT

    Which is why I barely do it. I had a really tough time during the training bc I don't like forced group work either #WeirdEd
