Element A5: Teacher Strategies/Moves that Support Collaborative Problem Solving

Description: Teachers use instructional strategies/moves that build student competencies in collaborative problem-solving using CT practices and concepts.

What effective implementation looks like:

• I demonstrate a range of instructional strategies for the purposes of helping students build, practice, and refine collaborative problem-solving capacities
• I provide frequent opportunities for my students to have discussions, share reflections, and collaborate around CT while solving problems
• Students have access to classroom support materials, such as word walls, posters, or hand-outs that provide visual examples of CT concepts and practices that can be referenced in partner or whole group discussions to support collaborative problem solving efforts

Self-Reflection Question: What strategies for helping students engage in collaborative problem solving using CT practices and concepts am I implementing, if any?
