In the end, our administrative team broke out with 11 seconds left (they may or may not have received a hint towards the end!). Did they understand what it meant to work collaboratively towards a goal? Were they forced to communicate with one another to achieve success? Did they experience frustration? Did they employ the 5 C's to ultimately earn their lunch? Yes, yes, yes, and yes.
So, would we do Breakout EDU again? WITHOUT A DOUBT! Within days of sharing our experience with some teachers, we already have a PD for Breakout EDU on the calendar!
