Week 3 – Discussion
Phase Models in Group Development
Teach the class: Reflect on a time when you were part of a relatively small group, and with reference to this experience, explain Tuckman’s Model of Group Development stages to the class. Walk your classmates through the forming, storming, norming, performing, and adjourning stages of this model in relation to the group-development experience that is the basis of your reflection. If for some reason your group did not make it to the performing or adjourning stages (for example), then explain your hypotheses as to why the group did not make it this far. Be specific with the description of each stage. Include an additional relevant scholarly source to enhance your work and the learning of your peers in class.
Week 4 – Discussion
Group Conflict Management
Pay particular attention to the conflict-management styles that are listed and discussed in your text this week. Also, find at least one source that describes how to work with conflict-management styles. Consider your conflict-management style and an example of when you have exercised this style. Your conflict-management style and example will be the basis of the presentation that is the deliverable for your initial post to this discussion forum.
Research working with conflict-management styles and locate a source that describes ways to work with your respective conflict-management style or another management style.
