How Does Team+ Work?
Team+ consists of eight team activities that provide guidance and structure to help student teams be effective and productive.
Who We Are: Team Identity
The first set of activities move the team from “Me” to “We.” Team members create a team identity, and “get to know one another” while sharing photos and biographical information. These activities build trust and team cohesion.
How We'll Work: Operational Effectiveness
The next set of activities help teams make critical decisions about how to operate as a team. For example, how to communicate, adopt roles, and establish helpful ground rules.
How We're Doing: Process Improvement
In these activities, teams make “mid-course corrections” as they identify specific behaviors that enhance as well as impede their performance. They also complete a mid-semester peer-evaluation.
How We Did: Accountability
Teammates rate one another’s performance on five factors critical for team success; this feedback promotes personal development, participation, and accountability.
-
Team Identity
-
Operational
Effectiveness -
Process
Improvement -
Accountability
Educational research shows many advantages to group learning in the classroom. When students have a productive and positive team experience, they will:
- Take greater ownership of the learning process
- Show greater effort and motivation to learn

- Learn soft skills highly sought after by employers
