COOPERATIVE ADVENTURES
PREPARATION & FOLLOW-UP

What kinds of things can be done to prepare for and then maintain and extend the progress that we have made as a result of our participation in a Cooperative Adventures program?

All of my clients have faced these questions and have asked for help with this. Previously, I have shared information from my daily practice as well as strategies that have been shared with me by other teachers and administrators with the individual teachers who have asked on a case by case basis. This is my first foray into gathering this information in one place and making it available to everyone.

The following are links to preparation and follow-up activities and strategies that have proven to be helpful:

helping students develop self-control while preserving the smooth flow of the classroom
     (NEFC Staff, NEFC Newsletter 2004)

Please be sure to share your follow-up strategies with me so that I can share them with others. Remember -- no one of us is as smart as all of us!
