Cooperative learning is a successful teaching strategy in which small teams, each with students of different levels of ability, use a variety of learning activities to improve their understanding ofa subject. Each member of a team is responsible not only for learning what is taught but also for helping teammates learn, thus creating an atmosphere of achievement. Students work through theassignment until all group members successfully understand and complete it. 
Cooperative Learning has been proven to be effective for all types of students, including academically gifted, mainstreamstudents and English language learners (ELLs) because it promotes learning and fosters respect and friendships among diverse groups of students. In fact, the more diversity in a team, the higher the benefitsfor each student. Peers learn to depend on each other in a positive way for a variety of learning tasks.
Students typically work in teams of four. This way, they can break into pairs for someactivities, and then get back together in teams very quickly for others. It is important, however, to establish classroom norms and protocols that guide students to:
* Contribute
* Stay on task* Help each other
* Encourage each other
* Share
* Solve problems
* Give and accept feedback from peers
