The section below describes how you might use ExploraVision in your classroom, not only to enter the contest, but also how you might integrate it into your curriculum. The section borrows on the experiences of several ExploraVision finalist teams. Organizing an Elementary School ExploraVision Team Develop a team. The competition requires that coaches establish a team of 2-4 students per entry. Another approach is to use it as a project for the gifted students who may need more challenging work.
Some coaches create teams made up of both high and low achievers.
No matter how you do it, make sure every member of your team is committed. Ask for parental commitment. For teams of young students, parental support and commitment is critical. Few elementary students can take on the responsibility of a contest alone, and in any case, the teams will need transportation, places to meet outside school, and other regular support. Find a mentor.
