It is difficult to tell from the material provided. More successful efforts to integrate schools occur in places where teachers organize teaching and learning in ways that classmates become teammates. They do so by using such strategies as cooperative learning to encourage students to collaborate on a variety of educational tasks. Cooperative learning takes many forms. In STAD, the teacher makes a presentation, and then students work in small groups on a related activity.
Individual understanding is assessed by a quiz or test.
TGT is similar to STAD, except that no quizzes are administered after students work together in teams. In Learning Together, teachers organize small-group work to encourage interdependence. Teachers promote the idea that groups sink or swim together, and students spend time developing both academic and social skills. Integration has also worked well in settings where educators have tried to make students more responsible for solving disagreements, using such strategies as conflict management or conflict resolution. In this particular setting, conflict mediation has reportedly reduced racial tension and increased cultural sensitivity among the school's Black, Latino, white, and Asian students.
