01

What Students Need to Do

Students work with classmates to plan, divide tasks, make decisions, and complete a group product. They share ideas, listen closely, solve disagreements, and follow through on responsibilities. They also track whether the group is meeting its goal.

02

What Mastery Looks Like

Students take a clear role, complete their part, and help the group stay focused. They listen, build on ideas, and disagree respectfully. They can explain the group’s decisions and their own contribution.

03

Common Misconceptions

Students may think collaboration means splitting the work and never checking back. Some let one person lead every decision or confuse agreement with productive teamwork. Others offer vague feedback instead of specific suggestions.

04

How to Assess It

Give groups eight minutes to rank five classroom improvement ideas and choose one. Ask each student to submit the final choice and name one contribution they made.
