The most important gift teachers and school administrators can give students is to prepare them to be autonomous, fully accountable problem solvers"€"people who are adept at collaborating with others, who can think critically and creatively, and who are able to manage their projects efficiently with minimal oversight from supervisors. Implementing student teams in the classroom is the single most effective method of developing these skills"€"but it can also be one of the most challenging.
Student Teaming: You Got This! is a survival guide for teachers ready to take on that challenge. Written by Sara Croll, an educator and literacy coach in Title 1 schools for ten years, this guide is meant to be used as you need it; for quick-and-dirty on-the-spot help with student teaming. Mark it up, fill it with sticky notes, and flip through to the sections relevant to your lesson, your day, or your hour.
Teachers sometimes struggle with releasing ownership of learning to students because oftentimes ownership was never released to them. Through self-reflection questions, specific advice, and practical instruction, this guide gives every educator"€"those new to teaming, the familiar practitioners, and everyone in-between"€"the confidence to say I got this!
