Some high schools are failing 42% of ninth graders (nationwide average 25%)

community service was that even the smallest of acts will make a difference in your community.”
“Volunteering makes you feel good inside, because you know you are doing something worthwhile in your community,”

Team Norms
Each team has different norms - team decides
Some examples: Start and end on time Don’t bring grading to team Focus on the solution, not the problem Talk about the same issue more than once -
solve it or move on Celebrate successes
