Jagged Smackdowns

Everyone is different. In Room 3 we make jagged profiles to show what we're good at and what we need to work on next. This week we researched our goals (e.g. leadership) using YouTube videos but interestingly students got more useful advice from each other. They then shared their tips in a smackdown where they all presented for a minute. A genuine collaborative process.

epro8

Taking the Wesley Wizards to the epro8 (engineering, problem solving, innovation) taught me a lot about collaboration. It was really challenging to sit back and NOT help. But I was proud that they were the only team to take the time to draw a plan before they started building. Good communication and collaboration all round. We ended up coming 7th out of 12 teams with 160 points.
