Group Process (Part 1)

Below you will find student videos to explore each of the components of your group process: Group Agreement, Roles and Responsibilities, Meeting Schedule, Decision-Making Process, and Conflict Resolution.

Group Agreement

  • Did your group create a Group Contract or Agreement? If so, how did it help — or not help — your team's dynamics? Did this Group Agreement lead to a culture of accountability? What did that look like? Were all voices heard in your group? How did your group make that happen — or address it when it didn't?

Below are videos where students talk about their Group Agreement and Culture of Accountability:

Roles and Responsibilities

  • In your meetings, did your group rotate facilitators, have a vibes watcher, or assign a notetaker? How did these shape your meetings? Did your group have a recruitment leader, social media coordinator, etc? If so, how did they impact the group?
