I never had the privilege of meeting Dr Slavin, but I was aware of his work.
<div class="">I’m again saddened that another of our group has paased.</div>

<div dir="ltr" class="">Thanks, Jim. Between Slavin's work and that of my then UMinn colleagues, Roger and David Johnson, cooperative learning was a big part of my late 1970s early 1980s education.

Yes, thank you, Susan, for making us aware.</div>

I didn't really know Slavin either, but I credit the start of my ability to help teachers have successful small group discussions in the classroom to my reading his 1980(?) article on jigsaw puzzle grouping. It was a substantive and practical step forward in
enabling the teachers I taught on campus and did workshops with as a consultant to elicit productive and cognitively stimulating small group work. They usually found it came with a bonus--fewer not more discipline problems.<br class="">

<div dir="ltr" class="">I cannot say that I knew him well, but I can say that I thoroughly enjoyed and learned from several occasions in which I was privileged to interact with him, some in person and some via print and email. He and Nancy invited me to their
foundation in the Baltimore area in the early 90s to talk about upping the ante on comprehension activities. In the late 90s, Steve Stahl and I did a review of Success for All (and several other early reading programs and interventions), so we interviewed
him on a couple of occasions and negotiated his member check of our evaluation. And I always read his articles, even those I did not always agree with.
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Above all, I found him to be a scholar of great integrity who combined equally strong commitments to equity and evidence. Equity for all students, with an extra commitment to those not always well served by our educational practices and institutions.
Evidence so we don't deceive ourselves with runaway wishful thinking. His contributions will endure for many decades to come.
