The jigsaw strategy: other to succeed. It breaks classes

THINK-PAIR-SHARE

 Is a collaborative learning strategy where students

work together to solve a problem or answer a
question about an assigned reading. This strategy
requires students to
 (1) think individually about a topic or answer to a
question
 (2) share ideas with classmates.
 Discussing with a partner maximizes participation,
focuses attention and engages students in
comprehending the reading material.
NUMBERED HEADS TOGETHER

 Numbered Heads Together is a cooperative learning

strategy that holds each student accountable for learning
the material. Students are placed in groups and each person
is given a number (from one to the maximum number in
each group). The teacher poses a question and students
"put their heads together" to figure out the answer. The
teacher calls a specific number to respond as spokesperson
for the group
 . By having students work together in a group, this strategy
ensures that each member knows the answer to problems
or questions asked by the teacher. Because no one knows
which number will be called, all team members must be
prepared.
PRINCIPALS
ROLE OF THE
TEACHER

 Teachers fade in the

background and become a
coach, facilitat, or and
sometimes a spectator after
the lesson is implemented.
Teachers who set up a good
cooperative lesson teach
children to teach themselves
and each other. Students
learn from their peers and
become less dependent on
the teacher for help.
