Reviews / Votes
"Group Work that Works provides the groundwork for a responsive, empathic classroom in which all students enjoy 'home court advantage.' The voice of the student is heard.In this book, the dual objectives of cognitive and affective development will lead the committed reader to put aside some preconceived notions of classroom instruction.
The classroom vignettes and case studies are well chosen to fit the whole student philosophy that is in every sinew of the book. Especially remarkable is the opportunity for the reader to reflect upon the scenarios, thereby exhibiting a path for teacher learning from experience.
Another positive feature is the comprehensive inclusion of major teaching ideas and frameworks such as those embedded in cooperative learning. The authors' selection is well referenced and reflects the best wisdom in the teaching profession. The beauty of Vermette and Kline's text is the bringing together of this collective wisdom into a cohesive, practical whole.
The authors show sensitivity to the teachers in their work settings, especially as it pertains to the need for evidence of student progress in both cognitive and affective domains. In general, they anticipate teachers' concerns and speak directly to these.
If I were teaching teachers at undergraduate or graduate levels, I would use this text gladly and without hesitation."
