[quote=Anonymous]I'm one of the PPs and also a teacher educator who educates middle and HS teachers. I always stress the importance of teachers forming groups and pairs and not leaving it up to MS students to pair themselves off. My DD spent the first year of Hebrew School alone with no one to pair up with (she started late - everyone already knew each other), and she dreaded it every week. She absolutely hated that the teacher always came over and said "well I guess we are a pair again." Why didn't the teacher put her with another child even once? It simply reinforced her outsiderness. Anyway, I always tell my soon-to-be-teachers to think about not only the academic pairings/groupings but also the social ones and make extra sure that every student is "placed" so no one is left out when a teachers is teaming people up. There are so many simple things that teachers can do to make students' lives easier if they just give a few minutes to think about the students' needs.[/quote]
