Description
Group activities are an important way for students to learn problem-solving skills, collaboration, and creativity. When they are run effectively, students thrive, but when they are thrown together with little thought, they can become a huge headache. Most educators are never taught how to run small groups, but they are a big part of teaching.
Thankfully, you can learn how to run better small groups with just a little intentionality and preparation. In this course, educator Lisa Van Gemert will share her tips for increasing the effectiveness of your grouping practices. Ms. Van Gemert offers educators examples from her own classroom that will help you become a grouping guru in no time.
In this course, you’ll learn about:
- Grading fairly
- Odd numbered groups
- How to divide groups
- Why grouping is important

This course would be useful if you have never run small groups before. If you run small groups frequently, it may not be very informative for you.
