Mesh - Where collaboration meets culture

Mesh: Where Collaboration Meets Culture
A complete AI-powered toolkit for teaching, coaching, and transforming student collaboration — from group formation to feedback, conflict, and reflection.

Mesh includes 9 classroom-ready tools to help students develop not just “teamwork,” but real, intentional, accountable collaboration. Built for teachers who want to go beyond “participation” rubrics and foster true 21st-century skills.

Each tool includes teacher-facing AI prompts, student-facing templates, real-use guidance, and optional extensions — ready to use, adapt, or personalize with AI.

🧩 What’s Inside

1. Collaborative Project Generator
Design meaningful, student-centered projects where collaboration is built into the structure — not added on top.

2. Roles & Responsibilities Map
Move beyond generic job titles with a guided system for assigning team roles linked to soft skills and project goals.

3. Team Culture Builder
Support teams in co-creating their own norms, values, and expectations — with agreement templates and mid-project rituals.

4. Collaboration Quality Check
Use checklists, rubrics, and reflections to help students define, track, and assess what good collaboration looks like.

5. Conflict Navigator
Equip students to name, reflect on, and repair moments of friction — with sentence starters and recovery protocols.

6. Feedback Loop Builder
Teach students how to give and apply peer feedback — with reflection prompts and repeatable routines.

7. Group Reflection Prompter
End with deep thinking: What did we learn about how we worked together? What will we carry forward?

8. Teacher Co-Facilitation Prompt Set
A library of verbal cues and AI prompts for teachers to guide, coach, and redirect groups in real time.

9. Cross-Team Collaboration Challenge
Simulate real-world ecosystems by connecting student groups — peer review, shared-world simulations, and systems thinking.

🧠 Who It’s For

• Teachers who assign group projects — and want to make them better
• Educators teaching SEL, 21st-century skills, or student agency
• Coaches supporting collaboration across disciplines
• Anyone tired of teamwork that isn’t actually collaborative
