The Collaborative Structures training provides strategies designed to support collaboration in which students effectively share information amongst peers by working in variuos group configurations to engage with subject matter. The key to college and career readiness is the ability to work productively in a group toward a common goal. To support the development of this skill, teachers need to strategically plan and implement the regular use of collaborative structures and activities that teach students how to focus on a task, how to have authentic conversations with active listening and turn-taking, how to reach consensus, and how to be accountable to each other.
