Overview
Collaboration drives progress in every area of life and industry. From business to politics collaboration is an in-demand skill that today’s students need—so why does the modern education system focus almost exclusively on individual tasks and assessments that leave students unprepared for the collaborative world?
Maybe it’s because of how difficult group work has been to plan manage and assess.
In The Collaborative Classroom Trevor Muir brings to light the dynamic possibilities that occur when students learn to work together. Muir shares how to teach students to do it effectively so that teachers can actually love group work. He shares the tools techniques processes and inspiration developed from his own classroom and from the insights and experience gained from master educators and industry leaders.
