 Intros   &   Outlines

EXPECTATIONS - TEAM ETHOS
I am a firm believer in referring to a classroom of students as a team. Each individual will be required to behave in a team mindset, maintaining a positive and supportive attitude throughout the year.  

Kagan Cooperative learning is Woodlands Primary School's way of life.
