Mapping, Clarifying, and Communicating Key Ideas about Collaborative Learning (MC²) Resources

The Mapping, Clarifying, and Communicating Key Ideas about Collaborative Learning (MC²) project brought together researchers and practitioners to co-develop evidence-based resources to support collaborative learning in K-12 classrooms.

Collaborative Learning Resources

We created three types of resources to help coaches and teachers incorporate collaborative learning in classrooms.

Learning Primers

Our primers provide concise, research-based summaries of key principles, instructional strategies, and evidence from literature to support educators in implementing collaborative learning practices.

Practitioner Toolkit

This toolkit was created by a community of educators who believe in the power of collaboration. Inside, you’ll find:

  • Practical strategies for designing collaborative learning experiences
  • Adaptable tools to support a range of learners and classroom settings
  • Tried-and-true approaches grounded in both research and classroom practice
  • Actionable steps you can use immediately

Instructional Videos: Collaborative Learning in Action

Collaboration Learning in Action is a series of videos showcasing many of the collaborative learning concepts from the primers in real classroom settings. These videos provide authentic examples of collaboration in action across different grade levels and subject areas.
