Employers say time-and-time again that working in a team environment to solve a problem is one of the most important skills they look for. As an educator, it’s your responsibility to prepare students for this real word situation. Working in groups is part of the learning process and the more – and better – students do this, the more they will improve their learning experience.
Educator Suzanne Tingley’s 20-Minute Trainer How Can I Keep My Students Focused During Group Work? will provide you the dos and don’ts for productively overseeing group projects.
How Can I Keep My Students Focused During Group Work? includes discussion of an academic rubric that can be used for every group work session. The academic rubric can be applied to all classes and clearly defines group member expectations, behavioral expectations and achievable standards. The rubric will guide the students focus away from their grade and rather onto their performance, which enhances their learning experience.

About the Presenter: Suzanne Tingley
Suzanne Tingley began her career in education by teaching English in Paraguay, South America as a Peace Corps Volunteer. She was a high school and middle school English teacher and Department Chair for 10 years before becoming the Academic Dean at a private school. Returning to public education 5 years later, she served as an elementary school principal for 3 years and then became a superintendent of schools, retiring in January 2008 after 15 years in that position.
Tingley has published over 60 articles in education journals including seven commentaries in Education Week, the education journal of record. One of her essays was included in The Last Word: The Best Commentary in American Education (Education Week Press 2007).
She is an adjunct professor for the State University of New York in the Department of Education Administration and was recognized by the university with an award for her “unique contributions” to the program.
