Create TEAMs in which
Together Everyone Achieves More
More hands make the load lighter. More people working together
means more productivity. However, teamwork increases more
than the quantity of work; it increases the quality of products
and projects. When students interact in a positive context, a
synergistic power is generated. Students bounce ideas off each
other, build on each other’s ideas, and share solutions with other
teams. By working together successfully, students understand
Promote Real-World Teamwork Skills
Teamwork in the classroom is preparation for the real world,
which is increasingly characterized by teamwork. Isolated,
independent work is giving way to a networked and interde -
pendent world. In the workplace of today and the future, teams
coordinate their efforts with other teams. Often, success is less a
function of what you know than how well you work with others.
Teamwork skills are arguably the greatest skill we can give our
students to succeed in school, work, and life.
Create the “Will” and “Skill” to Cooperate
Research shows that when students work together successfully, learning and
achievement go up. But just putting students together does not ensure they
will work together successfully. Students may have an initial resistance to
working together. They may not have the “will” to cooperate, or perhaps
lack teamwork “skills.” Through fun and motivating teambuilding activities,
students acquire the motivation and skills to work together.
Build Positive Student Relations
By working toward a shared goal, there is no longer an “us” versus “them”—
it is “we.” Like the camaraderie created in sports, classroom teams working
toward a common objective promote positive student relations that tran -
scend race, sex, status, gang, and clique lines. Students learn to appreciate
each other for their unique strengths. Students not only learn to tolerate
diversity, they come to celebrate it!
Enhance Classroom Climate and Have Fun
Teambuilding creates a more positive tone in the class, which translates
into decreased discipline problems and increased motivation, learning,
and liking for class.
