Do You Use Unstructured Group Projects?

In episode 10, we begin a two-episode series on collaboration; this week's episode focuses on pre-planned full group activities like labs and seminars, and we discuss ways teachers can manage these collaborative activities in a self-paced, mastery based class.

Please remember to take our Modern Classrooms Educator Survey by 11/15/2020!
