The co-op structure is more complex than many of the other cooperative learning structures. This ten-step process engages students in the development of a product or project. Students work individually on a single task to contribute to their team, and the team prepares a product to supplement the class goal for the lesson or unit. Co-op projects can be used from elementary grades up through college and can last from very short periods to several week units. These projects generally involve the more complex thinking skills from Bloom’s Taxonomy.
