Academic competitions can help students grow in ways beyond academics. Team competitions, with the guidance of a great teacher, can spur social and emotional growth, too. How do we help students learn to collaborate rather than dominate? How do we help them value all voices? In this episode, Julie and Laura talk about the power of collaborative student teams. Finn's story about Mrs. Lance is the focus of the episode, and it's a reminder of team norms. If you've been thinking about how to magnify the quiet voices, this episode is for you! And let's all lift up an underrepresented voice this week.
You can find Finn's story (and all the stories we share on the pod) in the Lessons That Last book, It's available at your favorite bookseller. Check it out on Amazon here: https://bit.ly/3OiZr38
