The Power of Student Teams
Achieving Social, Emotional, and Cognitive Learning in Every Classroom Through Academic Teaming
Michael D. Toth, David A. Sousa
Authors Michael D. Toth and David A. Sousa present a new pedagogical model called student-led academic teaming, the most effective way to achieve true social, emotional, and cognitive learning (SECL). This book includes a groundbreaking 10,000-student research study on a large urban district where teaming raised achievement across the board, and narrowed achievement gaps for African-American students, English Language Learners, and students with special needs.
