What is Cooperative Learning?
Cooperative learning is a teaching strategy where small teams, each with students of different levels of ability, use a variety of learning activities to improve their understanding of a subject. Each member of the team is not only responsible for learning what is taught but also for helping teammates learn. (http://www.nea.org/tools/16870.htm )
