SEPEP Success

I thought I would share a reflection on how the program has worked in my Yr 9 class.

*For a full description of SEPEP check here.*

After teaching the same students for over a year, it started to become evident that leadership and team building were lacking in many of the students. In class, group activities were often met with disagreements, which could halt productivity.

Integrating the SEPEP program, which promotes roles and responsibilities, action/consequence and maximum participation, was a great way for students' to learn more about how to work with others.

Here is a video of one of the integral parts to any SEPEP season, the student-lead warm up.
