Reflection:

How well did you collaborate and communicate as a team?

  • Collaboration - the ability to to work collaboratively to identify and create solutions to academic, social, vocational and personal challenges
  • Communication: the ability to communicate effectively to clearly organise data, findings and thoughts.
  • Critical thinking and complex problem solving - the ability to think critically and solve complex problems. These tools include data analysis, statistical reasoning, and scientific inquiry as well as creativity, nonlinear thinking, and persistence.
  • Character development - this skill requires students to accept responsibility for expending the time and energy necessary to think about a task, select the proper learning strategies, and judge how well those strategies are working. When students encounter difficulty or setbacks, this skill development requires students to diagnose the type of difficulty they are facing, select appropriate strategies to resolve the difficulty, and continue forward toward their learning goal.
