Now sure how to help student groups and partners? We have created a collection to help you begin this task.

Helping your students work well in small groups or with a partner is a challenge many teachers face. In order for students to be successful when working with others, they need to be taught expectations. Along with setting these expectations, modeling what positive group and partner work looks like is key. Below you will be able to download our resources that will help you set, model and carry out the expectations. 

Many of the materials created are available with a black and white polka dot print and a plain white background.
