During our opening staff meeting, Weber staff completed various “Minute to Win It” challenges from the hit NBC game show. Activities like “Back Flip,” “A Bit Dicey,” “Breakfast Scramble,” and “Defying Gravity” fostered community building and collaboration among colleagues.
Staff made connections between the games and their work as educators, noting that routines such as offering differentiated tasks, incorporating student choice, and reinforcing communication skills are central to their classroom practice. Colleagues compared the high stakes of the game show to the responsibilities of the classroom teacher and recognized the urgency of the instructional minute.
Weber staff commit to making every minute matter this year. Just ask any of the contestants and they will tell you, “We’ve got this!”
