• Increases excitement and a joy of learning
• Helps foster strong interpersonal relationships
• Allows students to learn from each other
• Enhances mentoring opportunities
• Brings classmates closer together to work as a team
• Increases opportunities for close cooperation
• Educational and emotional benefits abound
• Teachers and administrators can use this strategy to evaluate and encourage greater self- awareness among students
• Above all…. It’s fun to work in small groups and accomplish amazing things together
