HI. My name is Archie Davis and I have been asked to plan and organize the COOPERATIVE LEARNING SPIN GROUP SESSION FOR THE 96 NADE CONFERENCE. This fall there were numerous lively discussions related to cooperative learning on the listserve. Perhaps many of us could meet and share during the Spin Group session in Little Rock. Mark your calendar for Thursday B: 3-4:00 PM. in the Activity Room. The past Cooperative Spin Group sessions have followed several formats: 1) a guest speaker 2) informal problem solving discussions chaired by an experience colleague 3) a panel of experienced coooperative learning instructors who offered suggestions and solutions to difficulties presented. Personally, I have enjoyed each formate and left the Cooperative Learning Spin session better informed and encouraged to try again...harder. I want t96 Cooperative Learning Spin Group session to be useful. Therefore, I am seeking your help.... I would appreciate you suggestions for the next CL Spin Group format. I need questions or difficulties for which you need answers. I need suggestions for speakers who are members of NADE. I know many of you use C L extensively and skillfully, and would appreciate your suggestions and advice. Please send your suggestions to my E-Mail address.
