how we do it
what does it look like?
- Labs are structured as interactive simulations that teach key aspects of critical thinking and "workforce readiness"
- Labs are worked by student teams and last approximately 1 week (5 sessions)
- Software automatically assigns students to teams, and manages activity flow
- Students work together to solve simulated problems over a sequence of turns
- Team progress is combined into scoreboards that can be shown at start of class to create excitement
- At end of lab sequence, students reflect on their experience and internalize their learning
open system
- Open platform to enable teachers to create and integrate new content
- Teacher-created content can be offered to other educators with financial reward...
web-based
- All content in a web-based software package to help teachers deploy learning units for team-based instructional activity
- Tightly integrated with Google Classroom
