Think back to the last time your teacher said, “Time for group work!”—was your first thought, "This is going to be a disaster"? If you were like me, you probably wondered, “Will I have to do everything?” or “Can I just do everything myself?”

When I became a teacher, I was determined to change that dynamic. I learned how to turn group work into an engaging, productive experience for students by teaching effective collaboration skills, communicating purposefully, and making grading fair and individualized.

In this session, I’ll share practical strategies to help you transform group work in your classroom. Together, we'll troubleshoot common challenges, explore creative solutions, and collaborate on ways to make group work a powerful tool for student learning—one that reduces stress for both you and your students.

Walk away with actionable techniques and strategies to make group work a win for everyone!
