Cooperative teaching is teaching that puts emphasis on collaboration and group work. Typically groups will consist of four to five pupils working together with various tasks.

The pupils work with various assignments, tasks, learning to structure reading, writing, etc. The idea is that cooperation between the pupils will make them learn better.

Those in favour of cooperative teaching will stress how collaboration will make pupils learn better and that collaboration is an important skill for every pupil to learn. Critics sometimes ask what exactly the difference is between so-called cooperative teaching and good old group work in class.

Keynote speakers on cooperative teaching take a look at topics and questions such as these.
