True Learning:
A Renaissance in Education and Authentic Learning
Chapter 2 Working with others
Groups
Collaboration
Collaboration includes groups of all sizes. From family teams of two and groups of four
to a larger group such as a gym meeting.
A child learns to lead and to follow,
to ask and to answer questions.
Self-Worth
The more often students interact, the stronger thinkers they become.
Self-worth blossoms and independent thinkers are the norm.
EXAMPLE
Expert Groups
Small groups focus on a key topic
and learn it well. Then they share
in their exchange group.
Growth is never by sheer chance;
it is the result of forces working together.
