As our modified block schedule approaches, there have been a number of conversations and some professional development going on to help make teachers successful in their transition to a longer block. Some think of the new schedule as an opportunity to get the students more active in their learning through project and inquiry based learning. Summer sent this list of group roles out via email and asked that they be posted to the blog.
Of course the roles are flexible and allow for teacher modification, depending on the planned activity.
If you have other tools that will help others add to the teacher tool belt, please share!
Group Roles
Facilitator: enforces groups roles; leads discussion.
Time Keeper: keeps group on-track; gives time warnings; makes sure time is not being wasted.
Recorder: writes and proof-reads all information.
Runner: asks questions of teacher; picks up assignment and turns in assignments.
Reporter: reports out to the class during the discussion.
