Teaching Cooperative Learning: The Challenge for Teacher Education
1
Lewis & Clark College is a small, liberal arts college in the Pacific Northwest. Influenced by the Holmes Group (1986) regarding the desirability of graduate-level teacher preparation, in 1986 the teacher education faculty redesigned its preservice program to become a fifth-year master's program (fifteen months) to prepare elementary, middle, and secondary teachers. Students are in cohorts of approximately twenty students each; they opt for the early childhood/elementary levels (age 3 to grade 8), or the middle/secondary levels (grades 5 to 12). © 2004 State University of New York.
