We know that teaching is more than delivering content—it’s about sparking curiosity, encouraging critical thinking, and preparing students to navigate an ever-changing world.
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.
Designed by teachers, the practitioner toolkit provides resources for collaborative learning that are flexible, adaptable, and rooted in real teaching experience.
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:
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.

It was truly a pleasure to read the primers, and the toolkit was absolutely amazing. As a seasoned educator, I found the content both affirming and enlightening. It provided clear, research-backed strategies that I can not only apply in my current practice but also share with colleagues. I know this will continue to be a helpful resource as I design more intentional collaborative learning experiences for my students.
