Group work

Description

Starting with B for behaviour , this film takes an alphabetical journey through the key issues affecting group work, and features eight teachers from across the UK sharing their tried and tested strategies for success.For example, when it comes to choosing your groups, how important are attainment levels, and is there ever an appropriate time to let the children work in friendship groups? How do they decide when to intervene (and when not to)?During the course of the programme they talk about their different strategies for organising the groups, how they encourage children to develop the all-important group work skills (including a rather crafty method for keeping track of how many children have contributed in a group!) and what - in their experience - can go wrong with group work (and how to fix it).
