TIME IS SPENT IN LEARNING ABOUT SOCIAL AND EMOTIONAL ISSUES AND IN DEVELOPING EFFECTIVE COMMUNICATION. CULTURAL DIVERSITY OF CHILDREN IS REPRESENTED AND VALUED. WITHIN A COOPERATIVE LEARNING SITUATION, POSITIVE INTERDEPENDENCE DEVELOPS AMONG STUDENTS. STUDENTS SEE THAT THEY CAN REACH THEIR OWN LEARNING GOALS WHILE THEY WORK TO ENSURE THAT OTHERS ALSO REACH THEIR GOALS. PERSONAL ACCOUNTABILITY AND EFFECTIVE PROBLEM-SOLVING ARE ALSO STRESSED. STUDENTS DISCUSS MATERIAL WITH EACH OTHER, HELP EACH OTHER UNDERSTAND, AND ENCOURAGE EACH OTHER TO WORK HARD.
