The following are important collaborative learning skills that must be taught by the teacher except

-Summarizer: the individual paraphrases and plays back to the group major conclusions to see if the group agrees and to prepare for (rehearse) the group's contribution before the whole class
-Checker: this student checks controversial or debatable statements and conclusions for authenticity against the text, workbook, or references. He or she ensures that the group will not be using unsustainable facts or be challenged by more accurate representations from other groups.
-Researcher: this group member reads reference documents and acquires background information when more data are needed.
-Runner: this student acquires anything needed for the group to complete the task: materials, equipment, material, reference works, and so on. This role requires creativity, shrewdness, and even cunning to find the necessary resources.
-Recorder: this individual commits to writing the major product of the group
-Supporter: chosen for his or her upbeat, positive outlook, supporter praises members when their individual assignments are completed and consoles them when they are discouraged.
-Observer/Troubleshooter: This group member takes notes and records information about the group process that may be useful during whole group instructions.
