Many teaching techniques (ie POGIL, Team-based learning, laboratory) incorporate teamwork. Working with peers can not only increase learning, but it is a critical skill that students will need for success in graduate education and chemistry-based careers.
This symposium will explore the logistical aspects of teamwork: 1) organizing diverse and equitable teams; 2) helping teams lay a foundation for success; 3) helping teams work inclusively; 4) helping teams to work through conflicts; 5) evaluating the work submitted by a team; and 6) evaluating (including self-evaluating) individual participation and contributions.
The goal is to help educators to gain the benefits of teamwork in their courses through an exchange of tools, tips, and best-practices.
