On the recommendation of the faculty, OFD is piloting a book club session this semester. OFD's book club selection for Fall 2014 is Active Learning: Cooperation in the College Classroom by Johnson, Johnson & Smith. Beyond assigning groups of students to work together on projects, this college-level based text addresses the role assignment, fostering interdependence, scope and sequence planning and time management for using cooperation in the classroom. The text is a follow-up to the September 8 workshop on Cooperative Learning faciliated by Lorraine Cross, a Johnson and Johnson trained educator. Participants will receive a complimentary copy of the text and join in monthly discussions about this teaching strategy. Ms. Cross will be available via Skype at the book club sessions to answer questions related to the methodology. We look forward to active participation through discussion of the reading and examples from your classrooms.
Book: Active Learning: Cooperation in the College Classroom (2006, 8th Edition). David and Roger Johnson and Karl Smith. (a limited number of copies will be available to participants).
Lunch will be served in all sessions; if you wish to attend any session, please register through the Events calendar on UMD website.
