Working in Groups

Grade levels:

CONTENT STATEMENT

Groups are accountable for choices they make and actions they take.

CONTENT ELABORATION

As students work in groups to solve a problem or complete a task, they understand that the group is accountable for choices made and actions taken. Students work collaboratively in groups to:

  • determine goals;
  • assign tasks for individuals;
  • complete assigned responsibilities; and
  • determine if goals are reached.
  • Cooperation in group settings requires personal skills such as:
  • managing conflict peacefully and compromise where necessary;
  • displaying courtesy to others in the group; and
  • respecting self and others.

These personal skills build toward development of the social and emotional skills that students need to negotiate interactions and conflict resolutions with others.
