Praise for Previous Editions of Designing Groupwork:
"One of the most useful and well-researched books on the topic. One of the best resources for teachers seeking to build communities of learners within their classroom walls. Designing Groupwork has earned its place in the library of anyone seeking to create high-achieving, equitable classrooms." - Horace
"I have no doubt that this important book will be of enormous practical value, while it offers solid theoretical insights and well-documented empirical evidence as well. There is nothing as practical as a good theory, experts often say. Complex Instruction is surely one terrific theory, and Designing Groupwork is certainly one terrific book." - From the Foreword by Linda Darling-Hammond, Charles E. Ducommun Professor of Education, Stanford University
"In this updated version of the now-classic text, Rachel Lotan demonstrates, once again, her virtuosity at combining enormously practical guidance for effective pedagogy with solid theory and evidence. Hugely respectful, this book doesn't simply tell educators what to do, but explains why and how their practice of groupwork can be both deeply educative and powerfully equitable." - Jeannie Oakes, director, Educational Opportunity and Scholarship, Ford Foundation, and presidential professor emerita, UCLA.
"Designing Groupwork has become a well-thumbed mainstay on teachers' and teacher educators' book shelves. The new edition updates a classic text for those who want both theory and practice on using this tool for daily lessons in diverse classrooms." - Larry Cuban, professor emeritus of education, Stanford University
