  9. Agenda • Motivation for using teams in the classroom • Forming teams • Promoting teamwork • Assessing teams • Dealing with problems Team Dynamics Workshop.ppt

  10. Team Formation • Consider • Duration of activity • Difficulty of activity • Diversity of thought • Outcome Team Dynamics Workshop.ppt

  11. Formation Process • Ad hoc • Random • Self-selected • Systematic • Constrained self-selection • What are the pros and cons of each? Team Dynamics Workshop.ppt

  12. Systematic Approach • Teamology [Wilde] • Creates cognitively diverse teams • Questionnaire-based process (can use MBTI results) • Simple sorting • Useful for constrained self-selection Team Dynamics Workshop.ppt

  13. Does it Work? Team Dynamics Workshop.ppt

  15. Teamology • Great for 4-person teams • Will the team members get along? • If a team is not well-balanced cognitively, can they still succeed? Team Dynamics Workshop.ppt

  16. Agenda • Motivation for using teams in the classroom • Forming teams • Promoting teamwork • Assessing teams • Dealing with problems Team Dynamics Workshop.ppt

  17. Teamwork • Stages of Team Growth • Forming: Initial team formation • Storming: Reality hits. Conflicts. • Norming: Relationships are established. • Performing: Highly effective and cohesive [TQM] Team Dynamics Workshop.ppt

  18. Common to All Teams • Roles & responsibilities • Individual work • Team work • Meetings Team Dynamics Workshop.ppt

  20. Building Teamwork:Basic Rules • Communicate goals • Ask for ideas (just say yes!) • Involve everyone • Reinforce participation and teamwork • Provide active support [TQM] Team Dynamics Workshop.ppt

  21. First Meeting Activities • Introductions • Collect and distribute contact info • Establish time for regular meetings • Establish team roles & norms • Build a team identity • Come up with a creative team name • Develop a team logo Team Dynamics Workshop.ppt

  22. Agenda • Motivation for using teams in the classroom • Forming teams • Promoting teamwork • Assessing teams • Dealing with problems Team Dynamics Workshop.ppt

  23. Evaluating Teams • MJ and I • Use multiple evaluation tools • Team deliverables • Presentations • Peer assessments Team Dynamics Workshop.ppt

  24. Peer Assessments Elements • Self evaluation • Peer evaluations • Open-ended comments Optional • Rankings • Points distribution Team Dynamics Workshop.ppt

  25. Improving Assessments • Develop rubrics that include expectations • i.e. Leadership: 5 = inspires team by consistently and clearly defining tasks and expectations for completion, delegating a balance of task-oriented and creative activities, setting a good example by always being on time and meeting commitments; 3 = defines tasks for delegation and frequently defines expectations, meets most commitments; 1 = rarely prepared and very little follow through • Make assessments mandatory • Web-enabled for consolidation and anonymous distribution Team Dynamics Workshop.ppt

  26. Agenda • Motivation for using teams in the classroom • Forming teams • Promoting teamwork • Assessing teams • Dealing with problems Team Dynamics Workshop.ppt

  27. Team Problems • Conflict & disagreements • Power & authority • Overbearing experts • Lack of focus • Too much agreement • Uneven participation • Lack of follow-through [TMJ] Team Dynamics Workshop.ppt

  28. Conflict & Disagreements • Some conflict & disagreement is a good thing • Must often balance conflicting ideas to make good choices and decisions • Never disagreeing is a bad thing Recognizing problems… [TMJ] Team Dynamics Workshop.ppt

  29. Conflict & Disagreements Importance of dealing with it • Arguing for the sake of arguing • Wastes everyone’s time • Taken as a sign of • Unhappiness with the team • Unwillingness to get along Be proactive—don’t let problems fester [TMJ] Team Dynamics Workshop.ppt

  30. Dealing with Disagreements • Listen • Clarify core issue—list areas of agreement & disagreement • “Let’s all take 5 minutes to think silently about these issues…” • Periodically check your understanding of the disagreement [TMJ] Team Dynamics Workshop.ppt

  31. Improving Objectivity • Focus on the topic • Avoid judgmental language • Make an honest effort to understand each point of view • Encourage feuders to ask for help! [TMJ] Team Dynamics Workshop.ppt

  46. How to Begin [TQM] Team Dynamics Workshop.ppt

  47. Team Meeting Function • Team meetings are: a time to share information and plan for a concerted effort by the team. • Team meetings are not: a place to work on individual assignments. • Team meetings should be: well organized, and make good use of time. • Team meetings should not be: too long, ad-hoc Team Dynamics Workshop.ppt

  48. How to Have Effective Meetings • Making an agenda • Meeting roles • Code of conduct • Parking lot • Meeting effectiveness survey • Have fun! [TQM] Team Dynamics Workshop.ppt

  49. Making a Meeting Agenda • What: Provides a overview of what is to be covered during the meeting • Why: To keep on-track and on-time, plus provides a record of progress • When: Before the meeting starts, creating the agenda for the NEXT meeting should be the last agenda item in the CURRENT meeting • How: -Includes where/when meeting is held. • Lists items and times to be discussed. • Records deliverables, who, what, when [TQM] Team Dynamics Workshop.ppt
