Planning Cooperative Learning Lessons "Getting Started"

I think it is more prep time,
but I also think it’s appropriate to do the job well—to do
our job of providing an environment for students to learn.
If that’s what [teaching] is about—and I think it is . . .
then that’s part of my job, and I should be doing that;
because honestly, the traditional “go to the board and
lecture from your notes” is almost, you know, no prep time.
You can; you open the textbook, you summarize what you want
students to be able to do, you pull out a sample problem and
you do it—and that’s very simple to do. To incorporate the
cooperative learning exercises, you have to think about why
you’re doing [the exercise], what your learning objectives
are . . . and so [preparation for teaching] does take a
little more time.
