Nevertheless, Muhammad's religious revival started unpromisingly. Like Christ
before him, Muhammad found his life threatened by the establishment. The
merchants of Mecca regarded Muhammad as a dangerous radical. But unlike
Christ who paid for religious dissidence with his life, Muhammad retreated about
400 km (250 miles) north of Mecca to the city of Medina, where religious ideas
were more fluid and the establishment less entrenched. Muhammad arrived in
Medina on 24 ...

Cooperative Grouping for Interactive Learning

Students, Teachers, and Administrators

Little has been written about the practical considerations for reforming schools from the inside. This booklet explores how people responsible for schools can develop better relationships, new forms of colleagueship, and new ways of working together more productively. Three aphorisms describe the phenomenon of faculty-led school improvement: (1) taking a trip without a roadmap; (2) rebuilding the airplane while in flight; and (3) rediscovering the "if it's not local, it's not real" adage. To restructure education effectively, educators must foster the dynamics of group functioning and build an environment in which research-proven teaching methodologies promoting positive student interaction can flourish. Cooperation and collaboration are often hampered when groups of teachers and students are asked to work together without using group building activities, which incorporate heterogeneous grouping, positive interdependence, group reward, and individual accountability. Four chapters discuss specific group builders to enhance positive interactions between administrators and teachers, among teachers, and among both younger and older students. The last chapter discusses approaches to assessing the outcomes of the interactive process. Numerous sources for group-building activities are included, along with a selected bibliography of 35 references. (MLH)

As students grow older, their elementary classrooms often become teacher-
oriented, and student learning becomes individual and isolated. Teachers who
use interactive learning approaches recognize that perhaps the most important
learning resources are frequently neglected in this traditional classroom.
Traditional classrooms focus on teachers, books, and other materials as the
sources for learning. In interactive learning classrooms, however, student
interaction becomes the most ...

Working with Student Teachers

Getting and Giving the Best

Supervising student teachers effectively assures that vital professional experience will be of maximum benefit to the pre-service teacher. Mentor teachers and university faculty who work with student teachers need specific training to make the experience rewarding, while the student teacher requires specific information for professional success.

Several appendices provide resources for mentors to use with the student teachers they work with and bibliographic resources are included with each chapter for additional reference. Written for mentor teachers, principals, university faculty, and anyone working with student teachers.
