QACVE Conference 2024
How does a "Jigsaw" activity work?
Jigsaw is a cooperative learning strategy that enables each student of a “home” group to specialize in one aspect of a topic. Students meet with members from other groups who are assigned the same theme, and after mastering the material, return to the “home” group and teach the material to their home group members.

A. Expert Group Instructions
In your expert groups, visit the corresponding section on the website.
Watch the videos in your theme AND answer the questions provided by the facilitator.
B. Home Group Instructions
Return to your "Home" group.
Once in your Home group, take turns sharing the main points that you have recorded.
As a group, decide upon your biggest takeaway to share with the whole workshop group (a new understanding of "neurodiversity," a new strategy or resource you've learned about, an important realization you've come to together, etc.).
C. Large Group Takeaways
Each table shares their takeaways.
