-Andrew is a fifth grade student classified as Communication Impaired.
-His major difficulties include expressive language and developmental deficits such as speech and language,  reading, counting, telling time, and analyzing stories.
-His strengths include following a routine, initiating social greetings, being attentive in class and following step by step directions.
-Jigsaw Learning Strategy: This strategy will help Andrew in English because the Jigsaw method breaks down large topics into sections for students to learn and present. Like the popcorn business, this will empower Andrew by taking charge of a topic's subsection and presenting it

Andrew is a 10 year old, only child who is in the fifth grade. Andrew has difficulty with speech and language and has been classified Communication Impaired. He receives services with social skills as well.

His strengths include being capable of following all of his teacher's instructions step by step and he doesn't display any negative behaviors in the classroom.

As a group, we decided that Team Assisted Individualization is the appropriate strategy that will help Andrew. Due to his communication,speech and learning impairments, we felt like TAI was the most effective because children are grouped together to work on problems together and grade each other's work. Andrew's study also says that he was incredibly happy when he received employee of the month honors, and this strategy rewards members based upon performance.

Cooperative Learning Definition

Have you ever participated in a group project or on a committee to achieve some task? If so, you probably shared some knowledge with others in the group, and you may have learned something from others, as well. This is the essence of a cooperative learning group in a classroom.

Cooperative learning is an organized and structured way to use small groups to enhance student learning and interdependence. Students are given a task, better known as an assignment, and they work together to accomplish this task. Each individual has responsibilities and is held accountable for aiding in the completion of the assignment; therefore, success is dependent on the work of everyone in the group.

In addition to learning from each other, students also learn how to work as part of a team and have others depend on them.

Benefits in the Classroom

There are many benefits that can result from using cooperative learning strategies. Here are benefits you might notice after implementing cooperative learning tasks in your classroom:

1. Cooperative learning is fun, so students enjoy it and are more motivated.

2. Cooperative learning is interactive, so students are engaged, active participants in the learning.

3. Cooperative learning allows discussion and critical thinking, so students learn more and remember what they've learned for a longer period of time.

4. Cooperative learning requires students to learn to work together, which is an important skill for their futures.

How to Group Students

Cooperative learning takes some time to get used to for both the instructor and students. It may take several tries and the willingness to make adjustments before you are comfortable with this approach to teaching and learning. Let's explore a few techniques for organizing groups.

Cooperative groups are generally comprised of a mix of students based on ability level. Additionally, diverse groups are created based on the skill level of the students. For example, groups may be comprised of four to five students, which include two or three average students, one below average student, and one student who is above average.

In most cases, students should not form their own groups or have the option of changing groups. Once groups have been assigned, you may want to set your classroom up with desks grouped in sets of four or five. Groups should change approximately every two months.

This video is a great idea for Andrew as the instructions are given in a step by step form. This would be very easy for Andrew to follow and to get help if needed. Also, the activity contains moving desks and acting out pieces as a group. Andrew would like this as he does well with hands on activities.

Andrew is a 10 year old 5th grade student with developmental delays with speech and language. He has a lack of social skills but he is a very happy kid who enjoys building legos and assembling cars. Andrew participates in lunch, recess, and special area subjects alongside general education students.

We chose the Stand up, hand up, pair up technique because it allows him to interact with his peers but one at a time so he does not feel overwhelmed.
