2. What the heck is a STAD? Student Teams-Achievement Division
Definition:v COOPERATIVE LEARNING STRATEGY WHERE STUDENTS WORK TOGETHER TO LEARN AND ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THEIR TEAMMATES LEARNING AS WELL AS THEIR OWN AND TAKE INDIVIDUAL QUIZZES TO TEST FOR LEARNING

3. Yeah, so what does that mean?
Procedure:
1. Teacher presents the material.
2. Students work in teams of 4-5 to prepare team members for a quiz.
3. Students take quiz individually.
4. Students are assigned individual improvement scores.
5. Teams are recognized for highest scores

4. Things to remember Students work toward mastery of material
Can use whatever method works best will in teams
Cannot help one another out during quizzes
Score is based on previous score, higher individual score=higher team score
Must test every week for it to work, looking for improvements
Keep accurate records of scores, improvements, same, or less than week before
Recognize team scores in form of a newsletter

5. …and a few other things
Students like to contribute=work harder, see improvements
See learning as social instead of isolated
Students begin help one another out
Great for academics, making connections to others

6. And what about the other one, T something? TGT (Teams-Games-Tournament)
Definition-COOPERATIVE LEARNING STRATEGY WHERE STUDENTS WORK TOGETHER IN GROUPS AND ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THEIR TEAMMATES LEARNING AS WELL AS THEIR OWN AND COMPETE IN TOURNAMENTS AGAINST OTHER TEAMS TO TEST FOR LEARNING

7. And the fun sounding one, how does that work?
Procedure:
1. Teacher presents the material.
2. Students work in teams of 4-5 to prepare team members for a quiz.
3. Tournaments are held usually at the end of the week where content-relevant games are played at a table (3 students) with one member from different teams.
4. Teams are recognized for highest score each week.

8. Things to Remember
Key* students compete against other players who scored the same the week before+keeps it fair and everybody can contribute to team score
Ex. high scorer vs. high scorer
Games are exciting and hook kids
Works especially well with less inclined students
Teams work together in six week blocks

9. Hey, they sound the same. What’s the difference?
The only difference:
S.T.A.D. - INDIVIDUAL QUIZZES COMPARED TO THOSE IN YOUR OWN GROUP
T.G.T. – INDIVIDUAL COMPETES AGAINST MEMBER OF ANOTHER GROUP IN GAMES & TOURNAMENTS

10. Can you use this for everything?
Yes, but best for new information in subject areas
Knowledge
Comprehension
Application

11. IMPORTANT!!
GROUPS MUST BE EVENLY MATCHED ACCORDING TO ACADEMIC ABILITIES
MAKE SURE TO KEEP TRACK OF STUDENTS’ PROGRESS
