Collaboration Ideas for Reflection and Connection

• • Keep in mind - collaboration does NOT have to be verbal - don't forget about your introverts!  Their comfort matters.

    • Your introverts may need a written option, or an option to contribute without being forced to speak to a partner.

    • Perhaps small groups could be best in some cases so that introverts can participate without being forced into an uncomfortable one-on-one scenario.

    • You know your students best, some students will need coercion to participate because they are being defiant, but some (introverts) legitimately don't function that way
