Introduction

This handbook is designed to guide high school educators in forming
and managing effective student working groups. In a rapidly evolving
educational landscape, fostering collaboration, peer tutoring, and
cooperative learning is essential for cultivating both academic success
and critical life skills, such as teamwork, communication, and problem-
solving.

Grounded in educational theory, this handbook draws on key insights
from renowned scholars such as Lev Vygotskij, Albert Bandura, and
Johnson and Johnson. These frameworks highlight the transformative
power of social interaction, shared responsibility, and structured group
work in fostering learning and personal growth.
By providing practical tools and evidence-based strategies, this
resource equips teachers to thoughtfully select group members,

navigate group dynamics, and create inclusive environments where all
students can thrive. The goal is to enable educators to integrate these
practices seamlessly into their teaching, creating a collaborative and
enriching learning experience.
