Integrating Cooperative Learning Procedures, Solomon’s Six Types of Information and the Topic of Hebrew

When mentoring our pre-service and in-service teachers we need to describe and model both research-based and clinically tested best practices. Accordingly, our mentees should know about the integration of cooperative learning procedures and Solomon’s Six Types of Information.

On the chart below you will find sample applications of five different cooperative learning procedures with the six types of information related to the topic of Hebrew.
