An interesting idea...teaching kids to work together. Group Genius, by Keith Sawyer describes how business can thrive when the group works to create, not the individuals - like the whole is equal to more than the sum of the parts. If graduates are going to transition into the work world and be successful learning to collaborate is essential. Sawyer has some helpful suggestions that can be applies to the classroom.
Another book with some classroom applicable ideas is Orchestrating Collaboration at Work by Arthur B. VanGundy and Linda Naiman presents the benefits of art and creativity in the workplace. The book provides activities that can be used as teambuilders. It is a little pricey, so I'm not sure if I want to spend the dollars, but I like the ideas it emphasizes as previewed on their web site creativityatwork.com. Enjoy!
