They are responsible for everyone at their table "getting" each concept.

I have found that students are better equipped to respond in writing after they have first shared their thinking aloud with a peer.

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. ]]> 2016-10-10 03:18:16 UTC https://padlet.com/TGraham80/vvrg469d9zwv/wish/129397084 https://padlet.com/TGraham80/vvrg469d9zwv/wish/129451238 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.]]> 2016-10-10 09:53:48 UTC https://padlet.com/TGraham80/vvrg469d9zwv/wish/129451238 dwoodward1 https://padlet.com/TGraham80/vvrg469d9zwv/wish/129468015 This helps group students quickly.]]> 2016-10-10 10:54:42 UTC https://padlet.com/TGraham80/vvrg469d9zwv/wish/129468015 tcott https://padlet.com/TGraham80/vvrg469d9zwv/wish/129488782 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.

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.]]> 2016-10-16 22:39:58 UTC https://padlet.com/TGraham80/vvrg469d9zwv/wish/131005101 https://padlet.com/TGraham80/vvrg469d9zwv/wish/131013838  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 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. ]]> 2016-10-17 01:43:10 UTC https://padlet.com/TGraham80/vvrg469d9zwv/wish/131020109 asnyder12 https://padlet.com/TGraham80/vvrg469d9zwv/wish/131123699 2016-10-17 13:21:51 UTC https://padlet.com/TGraham80/vvrg469d9zwv/wish/131123699 trentoxenreider https://padlet.com/TGraham80/vvrg469d9zwv/wish/131130698 I have used Rally Robin often in my class and my students seem to benefit from it.

Pairs create a list of possible answers to a question and they share with another pair.

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]]> 2016-10-18 13:24:57 UTC https://padlet.com/TGraham80/vvrg469d9zwv/wish/131454350 https://padlet.com/TGraham80/vvrg469d9zwv/wish/131488948 Jeff Brasser]]> 2016-10-18 14:36:09 UTC https://padlet.com/TGraham80/vvrg469d9zwv/wish/131488948 https://padlet.com/TGraham80/vvrg469d9zwv/wish/131500086 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.]]> 2016-10-18 14:59:30 UTC https://padlet.com/TGraham80/vvrg469d9zwv/wish/131500086 wmorgan3 https://padlet.com/TGraham80/vvrg469d9zwv/wish/131545285
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.

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.]]> 2016-10-18 22:59:45 UTC https://padlet.com/TGraham80/vvrg469d9zwv/wish/131654091 https://padlet.com/TGraham80/vvrg469d9zwv/wish/131672098 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. ]]> 2016-10-19 01:39:37 UTC https://padlet.com/TGraham80/vvrg469d9zwv/wish/131672098 https://padlet.com/TGraham80/vvrg469d9zwv/wish/133140630 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".
