Practitioner Toolkit

Collaborative learning not only helps students deepen their understanding of academic content, but also equips students with real-world skills like communication, teamwork, and problem-solving. These are the skills that will serve them well beyond the classroom.

This toolkit was created by a community of educators who believe in the power of collaboration. We know that no two classrooms are the same, so we’ve designed these resources to be flexible, adaptable, and rooted in real teaching experience.

Inside, you’ll find:

• Practical strategies for designing collaborative learning experiences
• Adaptable tools to support a range of learners and classroom settings
• Tried and true approaches grounded in both research and classroom practice
• Actionable steps you can use immediately

Whether you’re new to collaborative learning or looking to refine your approach, this toolkit is here to support you.

At its core, collaborative learning is about connection. We hope this resource not only helps you strengthen collaboration in your classroom, but also connects you with a broader community of educators who are committed to student-centered, engaging, and equitable learning.

We encourage educators to explore the primers and toolkit, reflect on the video examples, and let us know what you think.
