There are three things to remember when employing Cooperative Group Learning according to Adam Waxler.
1. Vary Grouping Strategies ~ Groups should be arranged based on the purpose of the activity. Whatever grouping techniques you use, your aim in the grouping is for a better individualized instruction.
2. Model Activities First ~ Teachers must explicitly show students how to work together. Modelling must begin from the way the teacher groups the class to the performance of the group activity .
3. Recognize Effective Group Work ~ Successful groups must share with the whole class insights into their effective grouping. Special recognition or points for successful groups can be given as incentives to their job well done.
