We teach students to work collaboratively with their peers, much like an effective college study group.

Collaborative Group Work, Crystal Proctor
This piece shows several parts of Math teacher Crystal Proctor’s Geometry class, which uses the Complex Instruction methodology, which is a structured, research-based approach to student collaboration. Starting at time 02:45 and running until about 04:05 is an example of students working together to solve a problem; after that, Ms. Proctor arrives to check their understanding. Effective group work such as this requires a great deal of planning and deliberate establishment of classroom and group norms.
