Home | How It Works | Stats Login | Register         Case: Cooperative Groups and Uncooperative Students I have a student with autism who comes into my classroom for social studies and science each day. He has a very difficult time working with others and getting along. If he loses at something or someone does something better than him, he has a meltdown. This has made it very difficult to do any group work in social studies and science. What are some solutions to help him better get along with his peers and able to work in cooperative groups? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) One thing I would always make sure this student has it a session prior to cooperative learning with an aid about what his/her job in a group is and why it is important it is. This might make the transition into cooperative learning smoother. I would also try to make his group small, two additional people in the group tops. Our job as teachers is to help all students develop in all areas.                 Rating The suggested solution is respectful of the individual (student) No The suggested solution is relevant to the case No The suggested solution is reasonable (easy) for the teacher to implement No The suggested solution is likely to solve the problem/issue No The suggested solution is original No Comments: A prior heads up is always good but the student is going to need extra help and guidance to get used to this situation.
