Teamwork is such a simple word, but boy, does it pack the punch! Teamwork can mean a lot to many different people, and how we work in teams can make or break our experiences.
Today, students were challenged to build a specific tower of cups using only a rubber band tool. They were constrained by time, and over the course of fifteen minutes, all aspects of teamwork came to the surface.
Students...
As a class, we established norms for teamwork and walked through what to do with many different situations....how to communicate, how to share experiences, how to lead or be led, how to listen, and how working together really can unite us. Ultimately, we learn from these experiences, making us better people who are able to solve problems in a different light.
Way to go!
