It was not necessarily the high performing groups that was the hardest to leave for me. I have worked in groups that were a struggle from beginning to end. We couldn’t seem to agree on anything. I remember the friend I made and things we finally got accomplished through our struggles. When we finally got to the end of class and presented our group project it was a bitter sweet ending to a lot of hard work. We all form lasting friendships with classmate just by working in a group.
I guess a ritual for me would be at the end of a project we all thank one another for the contribution we all put into making the project work or not work. We always discuss what we all could have done differently to make the project better. We ended all class and group’s projects by saying see in you in next course.
I really don’t know how I will adjourn from the colleagues I have met through this master’s program. I hope I have form lasting friendships with a group of individual who shared the love and passion for children. It has been a wonderful journey.
Adjourning for me is essential stage of teamwork because no matter how good a team works together eventually you have move on. It saying that I heard a lot and I am sure you have heard it to, “All Good Things Must Come to an End.”
Tonetta,
ReplyDeleteEach team dynamic is different regardless if the proper skills, strategies and characteristics are there. These definitely make the team more effective and better to work with. Its good to have some sort of closing action at the end of working with a team. I also have had a wonderful journey in our program.
Tonetta,
ReplyDeleteI have formed some long lasting relationships through meeting in a course or on a project. Although our tasks have ended we remain in contact and share our joys and struggles on our new directions. Some endings become new beginnings.
