Question:
How can we use group work to enhance the social emotional learning of our students?
Concept A: Methods of grouping students (student choice, random grouping, teacher choice)
Concept B: Structured vs. un-structured assignment/play (clear, specific tasks vs. flexible planning and learning)
We are interested in this topic because it's an important facet of the way that we both want to run our classrooms. Speaking for just myself (Jaymi), for me I'm really emphasizing in my teaching philosophy the idea of having my students develop ownership over their wellbeing. I think that one of the best ways to know what you need as a student is to have to work with others. Students will learn how to communicate their needs, understand the way they can best connect and build relationships with others, and navigate conflict. I'm excited to see the benefits of every facet of group work, as I believe that it is not about advantages/disadvantages but about the targeted benefits between each setup.
