The results of this study strongly suggest that teachers value cooperative learning as an instructional approach and philosophical stance, and that their continued implementation plans include refining evaluation processes. To this end, the third phase of this research is presently underway. It consists of classroom observations and developmental activities involving teams of exemplary cooperative learning teachers. The classroom observation component involves collecting data on how particular cooperative evaluation techniques are experienced by students. The developmental component consists of cultivating practical tools and procedures.
