EDTS604 Creating Collaborative Learning Communities

10 cp

The vision for inclusive education for the 21st century hinges on the creation of collaborative learning communities where staff and learner diversity is valued and individuals successfully collaborate to achieve outcomes that no one individual could achieve alone. Achieving these outcomes relates to the redefining of learning, including the development of new forms of leadership and the focus on lifelong learning and the call for people to build collaborative relationships with others within their workplace and in the broader community.

This unit explores the theoretical bases and models of cooperative learning and collaborative consultation. The aim of the unit is to develop students' knowledge and understanding of how to create collaborative learning communities in their classrooms and schools so their students experience the positive student gains associated with co-operative learning, and for staff to develop strong interdependent collegial relationships with each other.
