Abstract	In cooperative learning, as opposed to competitive and individualistic learning, students work together to accomplish shared goals. It is the most important of the three types of learning, but least used. Research indicates students will learn more, like school better, like each other better, and learn more effective social skills when cooperative learning is used. It is not simply a matter of putting students into groups to learn, but involves positive interdependence, face-to-face interaction, individual accountability, and appropriate use of interpersonal and small group skills. Among strategies necessary to implement cooperative learning are: clearly specifying lesson objectives; making plans about the cooperative learning group; explaining the academic task and cooperative goal structure to the students; monitoring effectiveness and providing assistance with interpersonal and group skills; and evaluating student achievement and helping them assess how well they collaborated with each other. The principal's role includes structuring and managing a support system for teachers, with teachers providing the basic support for each other. The report describes procedures that sample school districts followed in implementing cooperative learning, and gives the address of the Cooperative Learning Center, a resource for information. (DCS)
