Cooperative Learning

"So we built the wall. And all the wall was joined together to half its height, for the people had a mind to work." Nehemiah 4:6 (ESV)

 Around 445 BC, when the Jews were rebuilding the walls around Jerusalem, the people learned the value of teamwork and cooperation. With  an organized effort and a lot of hard work and prayer (and in spite of opposition), the wall was completed in 52 days. 

Cooperation is just as important in the twenty-first century. In T1, students are learning to collaborate. They're coming up with ideas, making plans, and learning how to work together to accomplish their goals. They're learning to take turns, negotiate, and do what it takes to accomplish their goals.
