I like the way the students are learning to work together. I have started ask 3 before me and I like the way they are instructing each other, I think it is helping both "student" and "teacher".

Band consistently uses cooperative learning in verbal and non-verbal ways. Students must work with one another musically to create balance across the ensemble. Students work together planning sectional rehearsals, give feedback and encourage each other to attain mastery. In order to attain a successful performance, it is critical that students watch the student cunductor, move together, apply previous information performing their part in relationship to the other members of the group. Further, at contests, students utilize cooperative strategies with members of other ensembles by encouraging and having discussions about each others performances.

As others have pointed out, the Kagan Structures have given a common framework from which previous cooperative learning strategies are now flourishing. My particular "go to" strategy has to be the Rally Coach. The attention to detail, the ability to catch errors earlier and the communication skills that are developed far outpace previous attempts to peer evaluate.

We use cooperative learning strategies with reading activities. Each student will read a different article and then share with the rest of their table.

In Weights class, we are constantly working together to reach common goals.  Students work/practice together to learn all lifts/form and safety procedures.
Students have an influence on their teammates learning, as well as their own!
RALLY COACH can be used in weights:
Student "A" can be in charge of a core lift, while student "B" listens and coaches.  They will then reverse the roles on the next core lift.

Cooperative learning has really helped engage my students in the learning process. It creates more responsibility on each student to contribute to their group and/or the entire class.
I have used a variety of the "sharing" models which my students and I really enjoy (rally robin, round robin,  think-pair-share, stand up-hand up-pair up, inside-outside circle, etc.) However, a couple of my favorite cooperative learning strategies are the jigsaw method where they are responsible for a section to teach their group, as well as quiz-quiz-trade where they can review for an upcoming test.

I use Cooperative learning in my classes on a regular
basis. I demonstrate how to create a project and in turn they help each other
depending upon the situation. I also use Rally Robin to get all my
students engaged with the different project.

Cooperative learning is a natural product of my class. I show them how to create a project and in turn they help each other depending upon the situation and time.  I did use cooperative learning on a more formal note with a reading assignment where students worked together to read and extract information from the reading assignment and then they
had to select a leader to share the information in the class. I am certain it is a Kagen strategy

I use Pairs Compare. Pairs create a list of possible answers to a question and they share with another pair. Then as a group of 4, they create a collaborative answer together.

Show Choir, Concert Choir, and Reel Music

Concert Choir and Show choir is a constant exchange of making music. They are always singing, listening, and group learning. In Reel Music, we are predicting what will happen in a film, by Round Robin and cooperative structure. What do you think is going to happen? What could happen? What could be an alternative ending that would change the whole story.

I use rally coach and rally robin to help students who wouldn't normally participate, participate. It helps involve the entire class.

I have used Rally Robin often in my class and my students seem to benefit from it. I like how students become more engaged and have be involved. Using these strategies eliminates students from becoming an island and allows them to expand their thoughts and knowledge.

The rally coach has been a useful strategy to get all students participating in pre-reading vocabulary review when there are a lot of unfamiliar words.  Another swift and thorough engagement of students in post reading understanding is to Rally Coach questions related to the reading.  I put the questions on the TV screen and they each answer one.  The person across from them can add anything they feel is missed and their partner can ask a question for clarification.

I have noticed that many of the Kegan strategies allow for students to become organized quickly and start the assignment. I have used multiple strategies in correlation with some of the MRI techniques to maximize engagement in the subject. Some of my favorites are Rally Coach, Rally Robbin, Round Robin, and Timed Pair Share.

Rally Coach. It holds both students accountable for knowing content and that peer to peer communication. I also tried the "One-Stray" with my Algebra 2 classes to summarize the material before a test. I like that as a building we are all using this so students know what to expect

# data[].attributes.body
I like that I always have a quick way to group students to discuss the material as we're covering it. I have posters and "flash cards" to make picking a strategy easy for me, and because students are doing this in so many classrooms (consistency is awesome!) they have come to expect it and actually participate, thus increasing their connection to the material at hand. I like the combination of individual time and cooperative time. Jot Thought is great for brainstorming. I like Rally Robin for thinking out loud about the topic.

Rally Coach was used in Personal Finance for students to practice skills of calculating gross and net pay. Everybody was involved. I could walk around and help as needed.

Sage-Scribe helps structure peer tutoring. It provides enrichment, because students who understand the concept have to be able to communicate effectively to another student. It also helps the struggling student, because they are walked through the problem step by step.

I use Read-N-Review (Structure #to help my students read and understand the content. Having them read in pairs and then quiz each other is a safe way for them to practice reading and and learning content.

Rally Robin and Rally Coach work well with my students. It allows me to monitor student learning in a non-threatening manner and it gives the students ownership in the subject matter.

I like to use All-Record Round Robin to make sure all students have the same list of information. I often use this when having students brainstorm so they all have a larger list of topics and ideas to be inspired by.

I enjoy Stand-up, Hand-up, Pair-up for class building and having students ask each other short questions in Spanish to practice pronunciation and interpersonal skills.

I use Rally Robin and Rally Coach the most in my classroom.  I like that all of my students participate in the discussion, especially those students that would never answer a question by themselves in front of the rest of the class.

This helps group students quickly.

I like the rally coach strategy when the class is analyzing poetry or other short readings.  I give the students questions to guide their thinking and the students take turns answering the questions and underlining/highlighting evidence that supports their answers.

Cooperative learning puts the onus on the students for their learning. Instead of being passive, they are forced to be active! I like to use Rally Coach to get the students talking about the processes behind their thinking.  It is also great for formative assessments.

Cooperative Learning requires that 100% of my students participate.  I really like Round Robin and Rally Coach the best so far.  Rally Coach allows me to hear the students discussing math as they are working with their partner.  Everyone must participate.

I use this strategy when I am preparing students to respond to a text through writing. I have found that students are better equipped to respond in writing after they have first shared their thinking aloud with a peer.
