The Importance of Task Complexity
On Day 23, Dr. Fisher introduces you to a rubric that you can use to assess the productivity of group work with your students.
Join Dr. Fisher and learn about the first indicator on the rubric: task complexity. He will review strategies for engaging students in complex tasks to encourage their discussion and collaboration around completing the assignment.
CLASSROOM TASK: OBSERVE YOUR STUDENTS
Using the first indicator on task complexity, observe your students and think about the complexity of the task you’ve assigned them. Do they need each other in order to succeed? Do they have to interact to be successful?
Reflect on this and the steps you can take to plan lessons where students make mistakes and learn from them.
This journal can be used to reflect on what you have learned as you develop strategies for engaging your students in collaborative conversations.
Use this rubric over the next 6 days to learn about the indicators of success and then assess your students’ group work.
The tasks that you assign your students must be complex enough that the students need each other to be successful.
