Activity: A Clear Image… • How well do you really know your team members? • Independently list 3 things about yourself that are true and one thing about yourself that is false • Do not indicate which items are fact or faction… that is up to your team to decide • Share information with your team • Example:I just hit four numbers in the lotto, I use to have red hair, I practiced ballet for 13 years, I use to work in a high school
Activity: Teaming/Collaboration • What kind of team are you on? • i.e., grade level team • What is your team purpose? • What is the role of your team? • Does your team deal with behavior issues? • Identify additional strategies that might enhance team collaboration and allow your team to address behavior issues at the classroom level.
