How can I engage my students in collaborative learning?

Engaging students in collaborative learning can be achieved through group projects, peer reviews, and interactive discussions. What age group are you working with?

I'm working with high school students.

Great! For high school students, consider using technology like collaborative tools (e.g., Google Docs) for group assignments. You can also implement role-playing activities to encourage teamwork.

What are some specific activities I can use?

You could try a jigsaw activity, where each student becomes an expert on a topic and then teaches it to their peers. Another idea is a debate or a problem-solving challenge that requires teamwork.

How do I assess their collaboration skills?

You can assess collaboration skills through peer evaluations, self-reflections, and by observing group dynamics during activities. Rubrics can also help in providing structured feedback.
