Team Health Assessment

Overview

In this module, team members individually complete an anonymous survey which, during the session, enables them to reflect on the effectiveness of their team. Students partake in an internal group discussion as well as a class-wide activity to determine concrete actions to strengthen areas of weakness.

Topic & Skills

A team level assessment will support individuals in recognizing differences among team members needs and perspectives and in understanding why potential conflicts have occurred. The module will provide a space where teams can determine the appropriate processes necessary to provide better structure and direction for the team. Participants will be encouraged to openly express their opinions, listen actively and to accept positive and constructive information regarding their performance.
