Are you looking for a successful classroom management strategy? I was first introduced to this cooperative group strategy 16 years ago when I was completing my student-teaching, and I have used it ever since! It can be used for any grade level or course of study!
Each quarter my students are assigned teams and will compete for
extra credit points with the other team members. This works very well
for classroom management because the students
manage themselves! For example, you may decide to take away an extra credit point to a
student who is not on task. Because he is losing points for the entire
group, his group members will pressure him to get to work.
Peer pressure works every time!
The beginning of the Power Point begins with a class discussion about
what qualities employers look for in hiring employees. One of the most
important qualities is the ability to
work cooperatively
. Then it reviews student responsibilities and procedures when working
with a group and explains how teams can earn and lose points.
Also included in this purchase is a
Team Winner Certificate (4 different versions) to be given to the winning team members for the quarter and a
Team Point Chart for the teacher to use to keep track of the team points.
