Groupwork: Remember Norming, Storming and Performing?

Groupwork: Remember Norming, Storming and Performing? | Socio-Emotional Learning | Scoop.it
From coral.wcupa.edu - February 3, 2015 8:43 AM

These stages are commonly known as: Forming, Storming, Norming, Performing, and Adjourning. Tuckman's model explains that as the team develops maturity and ability, relationships establish, and leadership style changes to more collaborative or shared leadership.

Tuckman's original work simply described the way he had observed groups evolve, whether they were conscious of it or not. In CORAL, the real value is in recognizing where a team is in the developmental stage process, and assisting the team to enter a stage consistent with the collaborative work put forth. In the real world, teams are often forming and changing, and each time that happens, they can move to a different Tuckman Stage. A group might be happily Norming or Performing, but a new member might force them back into Storming, or a team member may miss meetings causing the team to fall back into Storming. Project guides will be ready for this, and will help the team get back to Performing as quickly as possible

Steve Whitmore's insight:

In my experience, I see many kids and young adults give up when a storm or conflict hits.  I have seen parents also buy it and ask for teacher changes or even switch schools.  Conflict is part of life.  Helping kids to learn to be resilient and work through these conflicts are essential.  #sel

Willem Kuypers's curator insight, March 18, 2015 4:38 PM

Un article qui parle de notre intelligence émotionnelle. Trop souvent nous associons leadership et action (un leader est un homme d'action). Je pense plutôt que leadership tient d'abord compte de ses propres limites, et de bien utiliser cette intelligence émotionnelle par rapport à lui-même et les autres. Un leader "est" d'abord avant qu'il ne "fait" des choses.

Perspective-taking: Another essential life skill

Perspective-taking: Another essential life skill | Socio-Emotional Learning | Scoop.it
From msue.anr.msu.edu - February 27, 2015 12:23 PM

How I wish that people could read my mind. Wouldn’t life be simpler if people knew what you wanted and then acted accordingly? How exciting it would be to have a child know how things were going from your point of view and instinctively know when you are sad, frustrated or overwhelmed.

 

Being able to see things from another’s point of view is sometimes referred to as perspective taking and is an important life skill. Author Ellen Galinsky reminds us that teaching life skills to children can be just as important as teaching school readiness skills. In her book, Mind in the Making: The Seven Essential Life Skills that Every Child Needs, she highlights the life skill of perspective taking. As an adult who may influence young children, it is good to pause and think about what perspective taking actually means.
