Indicator Description
The teacher almost always effectively combines flexible, independent, cooperative, and whole-class learning situations to maximize student learning. When cooperative learning is employed, it is exceptionally well-organized.
In the classroom, this might look like:
-
Teacher fluidly directs independent, collaborative and whole class learning situations that maximize student learning
-
Teacher fully applies all principles of effective CL (e.g., makes evaluation criteria clear, monitors and provides feedback, applies PIES [personal and group accountability, interdependence, equal participation, simultaneity])
-
Teacher uses grouping strategies to help students interact with others from different cultures and backgrounds when possible
-
Teacher may serve as a resource to colleagues in the use of independent, collaborative and whole class learning situations
