Independent versus Collaborative Learning

This week prior to school vacation, our students discussed the benefits in independent and collaborative learning. Our students expounded on the intellectual growth that takes place in class when several minds contribute and question each other. We agreed that different mindsets offer insights that can be overlooked when thinking or working independently. It was suggested that the alternating of class collaboration with individual outside of class thinking develops our critical thinking skills in different, but mutually beneficial ways. We want to be able to think on our own, but not exclusive of learning that so often takes place when we think out loud together. What great students I have the pleasure of learning with every day!
