But simply bring up group work and&#8230; that\u2019s a different conversation. Group work is one of the most common types of student collaboration. It\u2019s also complicated and messy, and never quite works out as well as we\u2019d like. Some students feel like they\u2019re doing most of the work. Others feel left out. Motivation wanes. Assignments get cobbled together, and nobody feels like they have real ownership of the work.<\/p>\n<p>Or worse yet: Nobody feels a strong sense of ownership of the learning.<\/p>\n<p>Collaborative group work is complex and messy by nature\u2014it\u2019s supposed to be that way. Working through that complexity is part of what we want students to experience. But if we really want to promote and model positive collaboration, it\u2019s worth taking a second look at how we structure and assign group work to our students.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.edutopia.org\/article\/setting-effective-group-work\"><strong>Setting Up Effective Group Work<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Research\u00a0supports what we probably already knew about student collaboration: It\u2019s integral to learning.
