Let’s Plan a Trip…
Using the note cards on your table please write one of the following words on each note card::
Placater Digresser Blamer Computer Silent One (only need this one if you have 5 in your
group)
Each person in your group takes one note card
Your group will plan a trip to anywhere – all expenses paid
You will play the role listed on your note card After one minute I will call time and you will switch note
cards. Each time you trade note cards continue your planning,
each time playing the role on your new note card.
LESS OF THIS MORE OF THIS
Team Cohesiveness
Members being forced
to do unwanted duties
Emphasis is on cooperation versus
competition
Dominance by individual members
Each team member must feel welcomed
and honored
Inability to resolve conflicts and differences; avoiding differences
Differences of opinion should be expected…all
members are encouraged to address the issues and
problems under consideration
LESS OF THIS MORE OF THIS
Team Cohesiveness Continued..
Competition among team
members
A team conflict resolution system - process must be
learned by the team
Lack of success; not completing or
implementing tasks/idea
The team must sense achievement, learning, and/or task completion
Not all members feel their contributions are
honored
All members, including parents, actively
contribute. Group seeks information from all
members
Effective Team Member Behaviors
As a team develops and member needs become integrated with team goals, there will be less self-oriented behavior and more task-oriented behavior. The following increases cohesiveness: Agreement on mission, beliefs and values Encouraging others Giving information and sharing ideas and offering
facts Seeking information, idea, facts, and opinions by
asking questions Clarifying and elaborating by interpreting
information shared by others and suggesting alternatives
Effective Team Member Behaviors Continued… As appropriate, keeping track of information
and ideas by summarizing, offering a decision, recording information
Taking responsibility for assigned tasks that must be carried out independent of the group.
Resolving differences by compromising or getting the group members to explore differences
Recognizing that content areas, roles and responsibilities may differ
All members continue to learn and demonstrate behaviors consistently
Let’s Plan a Trip…
Now work with your group to plan a trip to anywhere – all expenses paid!
This time use what your team has learned about increasing Team Cohesiveness & Effective Team Member Behaviors when planning your group’s trip
