Description:
The paper discusses how the juvenile justice system should use a decentralized approach for administering and financing the juvenile justice education programs and then explores the needs of cooperative work groups (CWGs) and how they can be very productive for the troubled youth in Kentucky. The paper identifies the five primary components that assist in the creation and facilitation of CWGs and looks at their design and implementation. The paper then examines the instruction of teamwork and interpersonal abilities, positive co-dependency, individual accountability and group examination to determine whether CWGs help or hinder the overall group cooperation and promotion and in making troubled students more comfortable and self-assured. Finally, the paper looks at the execution of a successful CWG.

From the Paper:
"The environment of cooperative work groups is a great tool to make students encounter the hurdles and tests that they need to overcome together as a group in order to attain their goal. It is, of course, important for the teachers to make students more comfortable working together in social settings before applying the CWG design so that the students are familiarized with the concept and take less time adjusting to its demands. Furthermore, it is also important that the teachers initiate the CWG process with smaller and simpler tasks where the entire class will be willing to collaborate and learn within a social setting (Sapon-Shevin, 1994). Juts like any other mechanism or teaching techniques CWG also needs a lot of pre-determined development and management before it can be implemented in a classroom setting. In the pages below we will mainly be looking at all the literature review that has been gathered over the years in relation to the instruction of teamwork and interpersonal abilities, positive co-dependency, individual accountability, and group examination. The main idea is to identify, through these four components, whether CWG helps or hinder the overall group cooperation and promotion and in making troubled students more comfortable and self-assured."Sample of Sources Used:
