Design of scheme/activity
Team challenges were chosen so as to further compliment the basis of Cooperative Learning A creative theme based on Harry Potter with much adaptability and depth was used. Each week a single challenge was chosen, rewritten to match the theme and developed so that it required students to work together using their problem solving, reflective and inter-personal skills.

Pitfalls regarding Cooperative Learning:
The Processing section of this model can be vague, it is important to add structure to the design The different roles, i.e. coach, reader etc. can be difficult to verify and may need to be adapted. Awarding only outstanding performances may prevent the student of lesser ability from achieving an award although they may be trying their best. Students are not physically active for the entirety of the class Ali O' Regan

Triumphs Direct teaching and learning of Social Skills
