Another great experience of this workshop, and having the
opportunity to facilitate, was the experience of meeting other teaching
professional from across the state, being able to sit and talk with each of
them on more personal level, making new
friends, and exchanging emails, and phone numbers, so that we will always have
a support team near and far!
In the article; The
Five Stages of Team Development, The first stage called, “forming” teaches everyone that stating
a clear goal during the introduction process, helps each member understand
their roles within the group.
Stage three of the development process is known as; “Norming”, this is the stage where the individual’s
within the group began working together effectively, they began to move past
the expectations, and goals, and began working on the steps towards
improvement. This is the stage my group left off at. Although we spent 8 hours
learning about each other, sharing ideas, and brain storming, we left our final
project/goal incomplete due to lack of time.
This has to be the hardest group I have had to say goodbye
to!

Great post Cynthia!
ReplyDeleteI have also had opportunities in meeting other professionals from different cities, states, and other organizations and you are correct in stating that, “It’s a great experience". I enjoy brainstorming with others and being able to exchange ideas and mostly-making new friends and exchanging telephone numbers and emails. When the meetings are adjourned-you leave with such a good and positive feeling which helps you look forward to the next meeting. Great job.
Hi Cynthia,
ReplyDeleteI agree that it is hard to say goodbye to high performing groups. For the most part, I love attending conferences. As Yolanda mentioned, I usually leave a conference on a positive note. Networking with others and gaining new insights most certainly makes attending a conference a great experience. Great post!
Cynthia,
ReplyDeleteNever say good-bye always say I will see you later! You was in a group in which you met people you didn't know and from different states. Having that support team from them you was able to get their emails and telephone numbers to keep in touch as you succeed in getting your Masters degree.
Hello,
ReplyDeleteI think that it is great to belong to a successful group, but also sad when you have to leave a group that you have been successful in accomplishing your goals. In a successful group, the members usually bond as one to become a single unit in order to be successful in accomplishing their goals. Many friendships are made in these groups.
Hello,
ReplyDeleteConferences are a great group to belong to and meet people. The disbandment of the group can be a sad occasion because relationships and friendships are sometimes formed. Graduating will be sad because I have belonged to this Walden group for many years. I will lose touch with a lot of people that I have shared classes with for over four years. We all shared the same goal of obtaining our bachelor's degree and then pursing our Master's degree. Once that goal is accomplished, we all will go separate ways.
Hello!
ReplyDeleteI enjoy working with groups in conferences. It is so much fun and it allow you a chance to meet new people and share ideas. I have formed many relationships at conferences. Once we complete the assignment we relax and often exchange contact information to keep in touch with each other. I have met some great friends through conference interactions!
