What the heck is a STAD?Student Teams-Achievement DivisionDefinition:vCOOPERATIVE LEARNING STRATEGY WHERE STUDENTS WORK TOGETHER TO LEARN AND ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THEIR TEAMMATES LEARNING AS WELL AS THEIR OWN AND TAKE INDIVIDUAL QUIZZES TO TEST FOR LEARNING

Yeah, so what does that mean?Procedure:

1. Teacher presents the material.2. Students work in teams of 4-5 to prepare team members for a quiz.3. Students take quiz individually.4. Students are assigned individual improvement scores.5. Teams are recognized for highest scores

Things to rememberStudents work toward mastery of materialCan use whatever method works best will in teamsCannot help one another out during quizzesScore is based on previous score, higher individual score=higher team scoreMust test every week for it to work, looking for improvementsKeep accurate records of scores, improvements, same, or less than week beforeRecognize team scores in form of a newsletter

and a few other things

Students like to contribute=work harder, see improvements See learning as social instead of isolatedStudents begin help one another outGreat for academics, making connections to others

And what about the other one, T something? TGT (Teams-Games-Tournament)

Definition-COOPERATIVE LEARNING STRATEGY WHERE STUDENTS WORK TOGETHER IN GROUPS AND ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THEIR TEAMMATES LEARNING AS WELL AS THEIR OWN AND COMPETE IN TOURNAMENTS AGAINST OTHER TEAMS TO TEST FOR LEARNING

And the fun sounding one, how does that work?Procedure:1. Teacher presents the material.2. Students work in teams of 4-5 to prepare team members for a quiz.3. Tournaments are held usually at the end of the week where content-relevant games are played at a table (3 students) with one member from different teams.4. Teams are recognized for highest score each week.

Things to Remember Key* students compete against other players who scored the same the week before+keeps it fair and everybody can contribute to team scoreEx. high scorer vs. high scorerGames are exciting and hook kidsWorks especially well with less inclined studentsTeams work together in six week blocks

Hey, they sound the same. Whats the difference?The only difference:S.T.A.D. - INDIVIDUAL QUIZZES COMPARED TO THOSE IN YOUR OWN GROUPT.G.T. INDIVIDUAL COMPETES AGAINST MEMBER OF ANOTHER GROUP IN GAMES & TOURNAMENTS

Can you use this for everything?Yes, but best for new information in subject areasKnowledgeComprehensionApplication

IMPORTANT!!

GROUPS MUST BE EVENLY MATCHED ACCORDING TO ACADEMIC ABILITIES
