Scaffold student collaboration incrementally and iteratively with our 'Spectrum of Collaboration' infographic. Avoid the pitfalls of diving into deep collaboration prematurely while systematically strengthening their teamwork skills. This structured approach eases students into cooperative learning, ensuring they develop the necessary foundation before progressing to more complex group dynamics, all without the chaos and drama of too much, too soon.

1. Solo Learners: Students work independently, focusing on individual learning with minimal peer interaction, occasionally sharing insights.

2. Supportive Partners: Learners pair up, offering intermittent peer support and feedback while being individually accountable for their learning.

3. Cooperative Groups: Temporary groups work on shared goals during Learning Sprints, with a group facilitator aiding in task division and collaboration.

4. Collaborative Teams: Stable teams with consistent membership work towards a common goal, sharing responsibilities and adapting roles to student strengths.

5. Collaborative Classrooms: Multiple teams work in concert towards a unified goal, supporting each other, with a facilitator (often the teacher) central to success.
