and fun. It also makes reading a cooperative activity.”

“The pre and post tests given for our work on metrics indicated that after
a few
rounds of play the students answered more questions correctly.” Jackie

“Many families are under tremendous pressure that is reflected in violence.
During and after the EnTeam programs, families reported better communication
and less
physical violence.”

“The EnTeam workshop presented interactive, hands-on,
pragmatic, learning experiences that have benefited our classroom
and ancillary teachers in the use of innovative
strategies and methods. And they are continuing to use them with our students.”
Myrtle
Reed, Principal, Peabody Elementary School
“We have enjoyed the EnTeam games because we realize that
they develop skills we can use in everyday life. The family interaction
has provided us with other
ways to communicate and handle problems.”

Fredrick, Participants in an EnTeam program for families
“By turning traditional competitive games into EnTeam games, boys and girls
recognize the value of others and the contribution they can make. EnTeam games
are successful
because they have measurable results.” Flint W. Fowler, Ph.D. Executive
Director, Herbert Hoover Boys and Girls Club
“EnTeam activities allow teachers to take advantage of individual
differences of students. These activities offer teachers the opportunity
to cover multiple
educational goals in one lesson. EnTeam activities cover social, personal,
and academic areas.”
Jennifer P. Couch, Ferguson Middle School English
teacher
“The EnTeam approach is excellent. I really enjoyed the
EnTeam philosophy of different roles looking for a collective good
with success in the end.”
Bernard
Sammons, Ph.D. Monsanto

“EnTeam activities help students learn because the children
enjoy EnTeam experiential learning activities. These educational
games encourage students to think cooperatively
and to develop cooperative strategies in the classroom. Students
see that as they developed strategies for working together, their scores
improved. The
more effective the strategy they develop, the higher their scores.”
Dr.
Michael P. Grady, Professor and evaluator of educational programs St.
Louis University, Department of Education
“While everyone agrees that we need more peace and collaboration
in the world, few people are giving us practical methods and usable
tools for bringing it about.
The EnTeam approach is at once simple and profound—by making basic
changes in the way we play common games, insights and learning
emerge. I have seen it
happen and encourage any one to participate who is interested in
a more peaceful approach to life.”
Michael J. Stevens, Ph.D,
Professor of Organizational Behavior University of Missouri—St.
Louis
“We are very grateful to Enteam for its resourcefulness
in creating a warm and child-friendly environment for bringing
students from different faiths together. Our
children at Solomon Schechter, a Jewish day school, the Muslim
children from Al-Salam Day School, and the Christian children from
The Principia and St. Monica’s,
are learning to enjoy each other’s company, cooperate, and
appreciate each other. All of this works so beautifully under
the Enteam philosophy of winning by working together!”
Dr.
Zvi Schoenburg, Head of School, Solomon Schechter Day School
“All students—including those from inner city schools—need
to be engaged through active learning experiences. EnTeam games
challenge kids to think together as
they study and play. The result is a more peaceful and productive
learning environment. I have seen teachers and students benefit
from the EnTeam process of measuring
cooperation.”
