How to Set Up Collaborative Groups Manual

IF SETTING UP COLLABORATIVE GROUPS has been on your mind, but you’re unsure about how to implement it in your classroom, I’ve created this How to Set Up Collaborative Groups Manual just for you. It has step by step instructions which will make it so easy to do.

RESEARCH has shown that this type of activity has a far reaching effect on students and their education.  It aids in the development of higher level thinking skills, increases retention of lessons taught, addresses learning styles and so much more. Group work also helps build character by enhancing self esteem, encouraging diversity, developing positive relationships, and creating a stronger social support

system.
