Collaborative Activities
Pair-share activities and group projects help create a student-centered classroom. When the responsibility of thinking and learning is given to the students, they become more engaged in the learning process and are able to think and learn at higher levels.
Our collaborative activities provide structure for learning and promote an active learning environment.
