* Lesson 5 get to know your group * Favourite Colour, food, song movie * Name Game

* 2014 “Work like a mathematician” research study using whiteboards * 2014 UOW offered to part sponsor creation of such a room at our school * CLOWD: Collaborative Learning Occupants Working Dynamically * RAM Equity Funding and UOW funding used to create the room * Professional learning is an important expectation of using the room- this room is designed for teachers to “take a risk” in teaching differently and “handing over the reigns” to the students when it comes to learning

* Writable walls * Furniture designed for high levels of student interaction and engagement * IMAC AND ipads * Video conferencing

* On a piece of paper write or draw as many things you know about collaborative or cooperative learning * Think Pair Share on the whiteboards

* An instructional format in which students work together in small structured groups to master the content of the lesson

* Positive interpersonal and small group skills * Face to face interaction * Positive interdependence * Individual accountability * Group processing * Based around Johnson & Johnson and Spencer Kagan

* This involves you teaching students the skills of listening, supporting, non verbal communication, explaining, decision making/problem solving, conflict resolution, understanding of individual difference. * Part of your assessment is how well the students worked together as a group * Activity to promote active listening “I’m all ears” ‘Paper snowflake’ ‘item of significance’

* The main key to this is ensuring equal participation from all group members. Deliberate positioning of students into huddles

* For the activity to be cooperative all group members must be involved and must depend on each other to complete the task. One or more of the following must be explicitly understood by the groups Role interdependence: each student having a role Goal interdependence – students work towards common goals and ensure all group members learn material Resource interdependence – each students has different resources that are combined to complete a task

* Design activities to create accountability through * Individual think time * Round robin contribution * Random questioning by the teacher * Individual performance to the group * Pair or group performance to the class * Jigsaw activity * Role allocation * Assessment / individual/group * Explaining what they have learnt to a classmate

* Students encouraged to discuss progress of the group can be done at any time of the lesson. Looking constructively at ways of improving or reflecting on progress * At the end of the lesson to reflect on entire lesson * At the beginning to remind students about skills and expectations and goals for the day * At the end of an activity if you want the group to reflect immediately on how they are working together
