Teamwork
While the classroom doesn’t require the precision and speed of that which is evident in the video, This Firefighter Can Climb A Ladder Faster Than You Can Fall Off Of One, the importance of team work is paramount.
In order to provide a learning environment in which students achieve success and meet their potential, teamwork extends beyond the most obvious relationships such as those between professionals in the classroom, the home-school partnership or - in the case of some students - between home-school-external support agencies, but also includes the whole school, the district and beyond.
