Last summer I partnered with another educator from my school to craft a multisession mini course for Math for America. The course met over a three month period and focussed on teaching educators from the Metro New York area about the symmetries of a sphere using an ancient japanese art form called Temari. I used our organization’s shared digital message board called the small world network to post and share an overview of our course in the spring course catalog and invited 15-20 teachers to sign…

the project, I was fully involved. One of my biggest contributions was keeping records and information from group meetings organized. I took minutes of each group meeting and wrote down every decision that was decided upon the group. With that information, I would later put it into an organized chart or list that made the information more accessible and understandable for the rest of the group. For example, after we decided which characters were being cut from the script and which characters…

Cindy Corey authors of Group Process and Practice, the discussions, and research materials have offer me an approach to the group process, where theory and practice in group work can be observed. The readings help me see how experience people apply key elements of the group process in group work. The group process has guidelines that are broken down in the group process sequence. I like how the group process has been broken down since while I am learning what is the group process, I am also…

reflecting on the group presentation, I would just like to wishfully thank them for their effort and of course, thank you for teaching a course that was rather interesting. I moved all the way from Kuwait to Brock and in all honesty, knew that group work would be my first and main concern. The reason behind this is that usually, I would get to pick my own friends and that makes the communication process within the group much easier but that’s not the case at Brock and other universities. Groups…

evidence that was presented to them. Gladding would call this kind of group an errand/work aggregate. This sort of group meets up to finish amass undertaking objectives. Introduction, the framing of a group stage, is a critical stage and ought to be drawn closer with alert. Framing a group with individuals who did not volunteer to be a part of the group, has a far more prominent possibility for disaster than success. Each group must to begin with motivation to exist. For this situation it 's…

Group Counseling and Group Work In the Group Counseling course, we were asked to come up with a group proposal project in pairs. My partner and I decided to propose a group for Sexual Assault and Rape Education/ Support Group. A big emphasis on the group we designed is to provide an environment for Sexual Assault survivors in which they did not have to feel pressured to report to any form of authority (campus police, or city police). Doing this assignment was hard for me because I never…

When developing a therapeutic working group setting an agenda should be made as a way to transition throughout the stages of sessions for those who live in an institutional group setting (Jacobs, Schimmel, Masson, & Harvill, n.dp.36). To develop a positive group setting, we look to how a group session therapy is divided in to three different stages. Stage one, or the beginning stage can last for a few minutes, to several different sessions. It is during the beginning stage of therapy that the…

Group Reflection Paper My group members for the group speech were Alex Potzner, Caitlyn Haller, and Shelby Welsh. I really had a great group experience, and I think my other group members would agree. When we first got together, it was pretty easy to narrow down our topic choices. We ended up not getting our first choice, but we did get the our second choice of the NAACP. We were very excited to start working on the speech, and we all decided to meet on a Wednesday. At our meeting, everyone…

For the deliberative presentation, my group was assigned to address problem number two. My group went through all of the phases of the Phase Theory of Group Development. On our first day, we went through the orientation phase. Because our class is small we all knew each other but when we got together as a group for this assignment we tried to get to know each other and we discussed the issue of mental health in our university and what each one of us has observed. Overall that day was dedicated…

Intro A group is a “collection of two or more individuals that meet face to face or virtually in an interactive, interdependent way, with the awareness that each belong to a group and for the purpose of achieving mutually agreed upon goals” (Gladding, pg. 83). There are many reasons why groups are formed; they may be formed to complete tasks, address a shortfall in a community or solve problems. All groups, regardless of what their goals are; will go through developmental stages” (Gladding,…
