"This book will give teachers the materials they need to try cooperative learning techniques if they do not currently use them, and it will encourage teachers to expand their cooperative activities if they use some now."

"This wonderfully effective guide to the management and assessment of group work in the high school classroom offers practical strategies, advice, and an answer to the perennial teacher question  ‘How do I get kids to work together productively?’  I highly recommend it to any new or experienced teacher as a great resource for incorporating effective cooperative learning strategies into the curriculum."
