The group I spoke about in my discussions are the people I work with everyday so there is no separating. although the adjourning phase still exists in a sense. Even though I work with them everyday we still go back to our daily events in which we do not work as closely and as much together. We may have had trouble communicating and building trust while working together on our Family Literacy Night project but when it comes to what we plan on a weekly basis for our students we really come together and make it work.
When it is time to adjourn from my colleagues that I have met throughout this program while be a bitter sweet moment because we have worked together and helped each other through the program so in these aspects it will be sad to say good bye but we will all have accomplished the goal we set out for so it will also be a happy moment.
The adjourning phase is an essential stage to teamwork because it really shows how the team came together as one. If the team separates with no emotion and with joy than to me they were not really a team even if they were successful. I believe a team will not want to say goodbye. They will look forward to working with and communicating with the other team members in the future.
I also think that because your group continues to stay together, your adjourning stage will be reflecting on your accomplishments and failures (O'Hair & Wiemann, 2009 p235) and decide if you will do another literacy night depending on the turnout and feedbacks from parents.
ReplyDeleteI agree when you are able to accomplish a task as a team, you then feel a sense a respect and value towards each of the members of your team. You understand that you may not all think exackly the same, but you do have the same vision and for that vision you will use your difference build a solid goal formed by all.
