COLLABORATION
This 9 weeks our focus is on COLLABORATION. Whether its turning to a partner and sharing your thoughts, Socratic seminars at the end of a unit/ test prep, or to jump start your class with a philosophical chair discussion to activate prior knowledge, we can't wait to stumble upon the sound of learning in your class! Please check out some of our AMAZING buffs showing off student centered learning through collaboration.
