A great teaching resource for incorporating cooperative learning into all grade levels. Includes multiple assessment forms and step-by-step processes for each of the five cooperative learning components.

This book is definitely suited to primary school teachers. There's plenty of useful resources and worksheets that help facilitate reflection and cooperation, though I don't feel there's too much here that would be suitable for my secondary students. The information about how to establish groups was useful, but I would have appreciated an extra focus on behaviour management in the vein of the related CMS book - how to specifically address group-work related issues.
