What I Like It allows students with different learning abilities to cooperatively work together and accomplish a goal Improvement

Points can act as students motivation It enables the students to improve their interpersonal skills and better their self-esteem

What I Dislike It is time consuming for both the teachers and the students It is an extrinsic motivator which means that students are more likely to expect improvement points with every assignment that they complete

How can I utilize this model? This model works well with all subjects. However, it is most appropriate to use the STAD model when there is a single right answer such as in, mathematical computations and applications, geography and map skills, and language usage and mechanics.
