Rachel Lotan offers tips for teaching kids to work well with others

In this episode of School's In, a Stanford education researcher shares strategies for helping students learn to collaborate.

Research shows that working in groups can be a great way to learn—if it’s done well. How can we help students collaborate effectively? What roles are needed for a well-functioning group, and how can teachers ensure that everyone plays a part in group projects?

In this episode of School's In, Stanford Graduate School of Education Dean Dan Schwartz and Senior Lecturer Denise Pope are joined by Rachel Lotan, emeritus professor of teacher education and author of Designing Groupwork.
