Working in groups, the students were given $5 and 2 hours to make the highest possible return on their money. They had a week to plan their strategy with almost unlimited creativity. At the end of the challenge, each group gave a 3 minute presentation to share their process and results with their peers.

My final point is – I hope – the logical culmination and expression of the previous four. Inclusion is primarily the business of classroom teachers and nobody can do it for them.
