Collaboration is essential for student learning! When children work together, it encourages collaboration, builds social-emotional skills, and engages them in active learning. Group work, on the other hand, often presents challenges. Some students feel like they're doing all the work, others feel left out, motivation wanes, and tasks seem cobbled together. So what makes for better group work? Here we show how a shared responsibility model gives each student more ownership of group work activities.
