In this workshop, we explore how and why to foster teamwork among youth. Teamwork is defined in Preparing Youth to Thrive as “abilities to collaborate and coordinate action with others.” Classroom research has shown that well-structured, intentional opportunities for collaboration benefit youth in many ways.
In the Cooperative Learning Youth Work Method Workshop, these benefits are explored in-depth. They include motivation, retention of facts, academic achievement, improved intergroup relations, a sense of individual control, and positive effects on both high-achieving students and shy or introverted students.
