Student Collaboration

I was recently reading the September/October 2022 issue of "Science & Children" a publication of the National Science Teaching Association. In this issue, I read the Methods and Strategies column, written by Kathleen Easley and Jamie Lehto. They wrote a column entitled, "Let's Work Together." In this column, they addressed five research-based strategies that support successful collaboration: 1. Establishing a culture of collaboration 2. Setting clear expectations 3. "Making the rounds" 4. Class conversations 5. Mediating conflict
