Collaborative Learning Three students in a mixed ability group work as a team around each computer. Teams discuss practical business and ethical situations requiring negotiation and decision making. Students alternate responsibilities on the team. Exploratory Learning Teachers take the role of facilitators and mentors. They do not provide all the answers.
Teachers begin and end the sessions with a group discussion.
Teams read, use references, and follow directions in order to determine their own course of action. The scenarios incorporate math, language, reading, writing, and interpersonal skills. Teachers can use related class activity ideas from the teacher's guides to expand and enhance learning in the classroom. Teachers can use the scenarios as a springboard for project ideas that are related to class themes.
