Cooperative Learning has been proven to be effective for all types of students, including
academically gifted, mainstream students and English language learners (ELLs) because it
promotes learning and fosters respect and friendships among diverse groups of students. In fact,
the more diversity in a team, the higher the benefits for each student. Peers learn to depend on
each other in a positive way for a variety of learning tasks.
Students typically work in teams of four. This way, they can break into pairs for some activities,
and then get back together in teams very quickly for others. It is important, however, to establish
classroom norms and protocols that guide students to:
Contribute
Stay on task
Help each other
Encourage each other
Share
Solve problems
Give and accept feedback from peers

SOME COOPERATIVE LEARNING STRATEGIES
There are some popular strategies that can be used with all students to learn content (such
as science, math, social studies, language arts, and foreign languages). However, they are
particularly beneficial to ELLs for learning English and content at the same time. Most of
these strategies are especially effective in teams of four:

1. Round Robin
Present a category (such as "Names of Mammals") for discussion. Have students take turns
going around the group and naming items that fit the category.
2. Roundtable
Present a category (such as words that begin with "b"). Have students take turns writing
one word at a time.
3. Writearound
For creative writing or summarization, give a sentence starter (for example: If you give an
elephant a cookie, he's going to ask for...). Ask all students in each team to finish that
sentence. Then, they pass their paper to the right, read the one they received, and add a
sentence to that one. After a few rounds, four great stories or summaries emerge. Give
children time to add a conclusion and/or edit their favorite one to share with the class.
4. Numbered Heads Together
Ask students to number off in their teams from one to four. Announce a question and a time
limit. Students put their heads together to come up with an answer. Call a number and ask
all students with that number to stand and answer the question. Recognize correct
responses and elaborate through rich discussions.
5. Team Jigsaw
Assign each student in a team one fourth of a page to read from any text (for example, a
social studies text), or one fourth of a topic to investigate or memorize. Each student
completes his or her assignment and then teaches the others or helps to put together a
team product by contributing a piece of the puzzle.
6. Tea Party
Students form two concentric circles or two lines facing each other. You ask a question (on
any content) and students discuss the answer with the student facing them. After one
minute, the outside circle or one line moves to the right so that students have new partners.
Then pose a second question for them to discuss. Continue with five or more questions. For
a little variation, students can write questions on cards to review for a test through this "Tea
Party" method.
After each Cooperative Learning activity, you will want to debrief with the children by asking
questions such as: What did you learn from this activity? How did you feel working with your
teammates? If we do this again, how will you improve working together?
A simple way to start Cooperative Learning is to begin with pairs instead of whole teams.
Two students can learn to work effectively on activities such as the following:

1. Assign a math worksheet and ask students to work in pairs.
2. One of the students does the first problem while the second acts as a coach.
3. Then, students switch roles for the second problem.
4. When they finish the second problem, they get together with another pair and
check answers.
5. When both pairs have agreed on the answers, ask them to shake hands and
continue working in pairs on the next two problems.
Literature circles in groups of four or six are also a great way to get students working in
teams. You can follow these steps:

1. Have sets of four books available.
2. Let students choose their own book.
3. Form teams based on students' choices of books.
4. Encourage readers to use notes, post-its, and discussion questions to analyze their
books.
5. Have teams conduct discussions about the book.
6. Facilitate further discussion with the whole class on each of the books.
7. Have teams share what they read with the whole class.
8. For the next literature circles, students select new books.
