Presentation Description: 
Learn ways to build and sustain community and team-building within the academy, across all grade levels. With the help of a peer mentor and student leadership, we will present why we focus more on community/team building and ways we've addressed this issue. Through various activities, we focus on building unity, increasing tolerance, embracing diversity, working to resolve disputes, working as a team, and building life skills. We will have workshop attendees participating in some of these activities.

Support Systems for Students and Teachers (for example: career guidance, counseling, academic support, peer support, transition programs, advisories, AVID-like programs, etc.; and support for the teaching team such as team curriculum retreats, development of professional learning communities, and professional development opportunities)
