If you’ve ever been a student, then you’ve probably done a group project at some point. And you most likely also have a horror story about a group project that went terribly wrong. That trend was clear when EdSurge recently took a microphone to one campus and asked several students to share their group project horror stories.

I invited Rabbi Elchanan Poupko , a middle school teacher, to write a guest blog and share a strategy for pairing and grouping students for after school work. With virtual learning, this has changed, and as teachers, we cannot allow for this change to take place in a vacuum. The results? A smashing success! So how does this work?

So many important lessons were learned during the pandemic that can be used to not only improve our practice but also to pave the way for a brighter future.

One thing is for certain: learning is not linear. It is also important to point out the following: You don’t need technology to personalize learning. Putting all kids on a device simultaneously and having them watch a video or work on an adaptive learning tool is not personalization. It starts at the top with leadership.
