Synopsis

Partnerships for Classroom Learning presents simple strategies for helping children work cooperatively with others in their school and beyond. A partnership can be as simple as a paired reading program with a student in another class or as ambitious as a full twinning program with a school in another hemisphere.
Drawing on extensive classroom experience, numerous student samples, and lively anecdotes, Partnerships for Classroom Learning helps teachers explore the learning value of a variety of innovative partnerships. This resource offers a wealth of ideas for setting up a partnership program: practical suggestions for how to get started - and how to keep going; planning grids and other tools to make implementation easier; helpful ideas for integrating partnership programs into all subject areas; notes on evaluating partnership programs; and demonstrations of partnership programs in action. This innovative handbook will show teachers how they can invite the world into their classroom and create new learning opportunities for all.
