Working effectively in a team is often a challenging endeavor. Diverse personalities, miscommunications, and undefined roles can all disrupt group harmony and decrease productivity. To address these challenges, the objective of this course was to provide participants with a range of skills to enhance teamwork efficiency while fostering a positive and collaborative workplace environment. By engaging in this course, participants gained valuable insights into becoming more effective team leaders and members, whether working within classrooms or professional environments. Throughout the course, participants explored various facets of teamwork and leadership. The journey began by examining the distinction between a group and a team. Participants learned that not all groups can be classified as teams, as a defining characteristic of a team is its shared objective. This realization emphasized the importance of prioritizing the common goal, a key principle for any team leader. Participants were also introduced to the different developmental stages of a team and the unique characteristics of each phase. Understanding these stages equips leaders with strategies to navigate potential conflicts and challenges effectively. One of the final topics covered was the implementation of peer feedback and peer assessment strategies in the classroom. Peer learning empowers students to take an active role in their education, emphasizing the learning process over grades. Participants engaged in activities that allowed them to experience these strategies from a student’s perspective, enhancing their understanding and ability to apply these techniques effectively in their classrooms.
