TEACHER

In this unit students develop a workable definition of collaborative learning and define the traits of an effective group member. Enabling students to create a frame of reference for being an effective group member sets the stage for success. More efficient team members promote more effective groups, which may result in a higher quality work product. As students progress through this unit, they develop a student friendly definition for effective team membership. They will list traits of an effective and an ineffective team member. Students will role-play as team members. Students will monitor themselves as well as their peers while working on teams in math and science. Students will develop a timeline and monitor their work as they complete a design incorporating the theme “effective team member” In addition, students will view internet sites and recognize skills that are the same for teambuilding, good citizen etc.
