The Teacher's Sourcebook for Cooperative Learning: Practical Techniques, Basic Principles, and Frequently Asked Questions

Great experience. Book is very helpful

good book

Excellent

How many times have you purchased a book hoping to find meaningful and useful strategies and ideas that you can use in your classroom right away only to find out that the book is filled with theory? If you are looking for a book that you can take into your classroom, open to a certain page, and start using a strategy immediately, this is the book. What make this book different is that it backs up the theory with practial strategies that you can put to work right away. I have never been a fan of group work. It is difficult to manage and usually results in chaos. However, this book has dozens of practical strategies that can be used at any grade level and in any content area. Each strategy has step-by-step instructions and visuals to show where students should be in a group and what each students role should be. There are also guidelines for assessment, classroom management, physical room arrangement, and student and teacher roles. After reading this book, I cannot wait to put some of these things to work in my classroom.

Definitely a great book for teachers at all levels! This comprehensive guide to coorperative learning is simply written and succinct while providing me with a good understanding of the concepts. It utilised relevant examples and suggested many activities I am keen to try. The Teacher's Sourcebook of Cooperative Learning is well-worth the money and one of the best books in this field I have come across. I would recommend it to everyone.

No lo he terminado (60% leído). Me ha encantado. El contenido muy bien organizado, muy claro y aportando en cada apartado técnicas muy interesantes y muy bien explicadas.

This book is a very reader-friendly book. The authors wrote it without any technical words so that teachers who don't have special knowledge about cooperative learning (CL) can understand. The book integrates CL principles and various activities which can be used in any classroom at any level. You can not only understand very important CL principles but also learn what activities can be used to actualize the principles. Each activity is clearly explained step by step, and sometimes even charts and illustrations are provided to make the activities easier for the readers to use. This book also contains Q & A parts where the authors provide answers and suggestions to the questions that the readers might have when they actually employ CL in their classrooms.
