Teachers can enter groups in which members demonstrated civic values, give feedback, and encourage further use of the values. This helps students focus on outcomes other than achievement. Model the values in the way you deal with the students and your colleagues. Your behavior will say more than any words. Assign roles to students.
Roles can encourage the practice and development of civic values.
The role of encouraging the participation of each group member carries the message that all group members' contributions are important. It takes a lot of skill for students to manage a group of 4 or more. Smaller groups are more effective and take less time. Not preparing students to work in cooperative groups. Explain to students why you are using cooperative learning, do a short cooperative learning activity, then have them explain how it can help them.
