We used Thursday’s crew session to check-in with our HOWLS (Habits of Work and Learning.) Crew were asked to give examples from over the past few weeks where they have been particularly proud of their performance against the HOWLS, but also reflect on those instances where they felt they could have been better (from low level disruption in class, not doing homework, and forgetting pens and pencils.) As ever, crew support was amazing: we applauded eachother’s achievements and discussed how we could help each other improve in areas where we may need to improve.
The HOWLS underpin everything we do at XP. East, so it’s really important that we revisit these on a regular basis so they don’t just become “words on a poster.”
