How can we improve teamwork in our classroom?

Improving teamwork can involve setting clear goals, encouraging communication, and fostering a supportive environment. What specific challenges are you facing?

We have some students who don't participate much.

It's common to have varying levels of participation. You might try assigning roles within groups to ensure everyone has a responsibility. Would you like some specific role ideas?

Yes, that would be helpful!

Consider roles like facilitator, note-taker, presenter, and researcher. This way, each student has a defined task that encourages engagement.

Great! How can we encourage quieter students to speak up?

You can create a safe space for sharing by using techniques like 'think-pair-share' or small group discussions before sharing with the whole class.
