Share These Wise Words on Group Projects!

Ah, group projects—as a teacher, they offer incomparable opportunities for learning, cooperation, and teamwork. But what happens when some students don’t pull their weight, or when entire groups devolve into a state of chaos and frustration?

That’s why we love this Life Skills Made Easy question, from Liza, a high school freshman in Florida.

We also adore the resulting advice (read the full column here) from big-time media project manager and career empowerment expert, Julie Hochheiser Ilkovich, which will help your students stay organized and accountable. We urge you download this Wise Words poster, hang it up in your classroom, and share it with colleagues. It’s a crucial reminder we all need!
