Editorial Reviews About the Author Robyn Hallowell Griswold is a member of the Social Studies Department at Nashua High School in New Hampshire. While teaching courses in World History, American History, and Advanced Placement European History, she developed a special interest in cooperative learning techniques. After implementing many of these techniques in her own classroom, she decided to share what she had learned about cooperative learning with other teachers. In 1992, she published a lesson entitled "The Murder of Napoleon: An Exercise in Cooperative Learning" in Horizons (The Journal of the New Hampshire Council for the Social Studies). With her colleague, Audrey Green Rogers, she has developed a workshop called "Cooperative Learning for Beginners" which has been presented at local, state, and regional programs. Griswold graduated Summa cum laude from Wheaton College with a B.A. in History. She continued her education at Harvard University where she received Master's degrees in both History and Education.
