Cooperative Learning in Kindergarten

This week, we practiced some of the ideas that our Bethlehem teachers learned during our training sessions this summer.  One of these ideas is a strategy for cooperative learning called Rally Coach.  Our Kinder Friends paired up to solve some math problems, with one student acting first as the "player" and the second student as the "coach."  With only hints, tips, and encouragement, the coach worked to help the player through the problems, and then the pair switched roles.  What a great way to have everyone in the room engaged in learning at one time!!!
