REFLECTION.
Things that ive learned from this subjects:
The topic of "leadership" has been on my mind a LOT lately.
For myself, the image of a leader' has changed a lot over the past decade.In the past, I thought of a
leader as someone who was professionally dressed in a fancy pant suit, speaking on stage to a large
audience. They were polished, perfect, and embodied a more masculine energy. But over the years,
the image of a leader has shifted for me. I've come to believe that we're all leaders We're all leaders
of our own lives, and although it can be hard to claim responsibility for everything in our lives, it's way
better than being victims of our circumstances, making excuses of why this and that happened i heard
once that you're not a leader unless you have followers
I disagree
Because the first person you need to lead is YOURSELF!
Teamwork:
Nowadays,students do some graded work in groups. The task may be, for example, preparation of
a paper or report, collection and analysis of data, a presentation supported with visuals, or
creation of a website. Faculty make these assignments with high expectations. They want
the groups to produce quality work-better than what the students could do individually
and they want the students to learn how to work productively with others. Sometimes those
expectations are realized, but most of the time there is room for improvement-sometimes
lots of it.
To that end, below is a set of suggestions for improving this subjects. The list
below provided a starting place for these recommendations.
1.Make the workload reasonable and the goals clear- Yes, the task can be
larger than what one individual can complete. But students without a lot of
group work experience may struggle with large, complex tasks. Whatever
the task, the teacher's goals and objectives should be clear. Students
shouldn't have to spend a lot of time trying to figure out what they are
supposed to be doing
2. Teach teamwork skills-Most students don't come to group work knowing
how to function effectively in groups. Whether in handouts, online
resources. or discussions in class, teachers need to talk about the
responsibilities members have to the group (such as how sometimes
individual goals and priorities must be relinquished in favor of group goals)
and about what members have the right to expect from their groups.
Students need strategies for dealing with members who are not doing their
fair share. They need ideas about constructively resolving disagreement.
They need advice on time management.
3. Thoughtfully consider group formation-Most students prefer forming their
own groups, and in some studies these groups are more productive. In other
research, students in these groups "enjoy" the experience of workinjg
together, but they don't always get a lot done. In most professional contexts,
people don't get to choose their project partners. If the goal is for students
to learn how to work with others whom they don't know, then the teacher
should form the groups. There are many ways groups can be formed and
many criteria that can be used to assemble groups. Groups should be
formed in a way that furthers the learning goals of the group activity
