Teaching Cooperative Learning
Description
Winner of the 2004 Critics' Choice Award presented by the American Educational Studies Association
Teacher educators from ten institutions and programs in the United States, Canada, and Germany describe the ways in which they have changed teacher preparation to more fully incorporate cooperative learning concepts. Analytical commentaries on the programs highlight the learning experience of these programs as well as underlying issues of needed reforms in teacher education.
