     Especially at the younger grade levels for example kindergarten through sixth grade, should group learning be incorporated into the teaching methods of all teachers. Not only should teachers look to implement group projects in and out of the classroom but they should consider setting up their classroom in groups for everyday purposes. During regular instruction time students would be able to help each other out where needed on a more subtle way. For example when in groups one student might be able to explain a problem in way for the student to understand better than the teacher can. Sometimes it’s easier to learn from your peers than from the way of the teacher whereas the teacher would have to set up one on one time that could very be difficult to schedule. Beyond the academic side of group learning, students will also learn to corporate and get along with others. They will build social skills and most importantly create a comfortable learning environment not only for themselves but for the teacher as well.
