It Takes Teamwork! Review the instructional objectives, vocabulary words and definitions.

TEAM Writing Strategy: Ask students to list other words or phrases to describe a team or work in groups to develop another acrostic. You may opt to assign a scribe to record all the words or phrases on the board. Lead students to give examples of characteristics cited and to list additional characteristics and practices of an effective team member. Teacher note: You may opt to create a Wordle “word cloud” from words or phrases the students used to describe a team at www.wordle.net.

Teamwork What is a team? What are other terms for “team”? Group Committee Board (of directors) Assembly Unit Allow for a class discussion on the definition.

Why work in teams or groups? Allow students to brainstorm. ideas may include: More people = more ideas Members can help each other More can get accomplished in a group than just one person doing all of the work Allow time for students to discuss the answer.

Why work in teams? We all can learn from each other Teams can be more effective than individuals when working on complex projects Teamwork helps develop interpersonal skills Teamwork is necessary in education and the workplace. It allows members to learn from each other, become more effective by collaborating with one another and helps team members to develop interpersonal skills.

These could be placed in the hall to share with the school.

Characteristics of a Good Leader Are accountable to others Are great teachers Ask questions and seek counsel Create a positive, energetic atmosphere Genuinely enjoy responsibility Invest in relationships Problem solve without procrastinating Are professional Think about the great leaders of our country or the world. What are some examples of how they exhibit(ed) good leadership skills? Allow for a short discussion. United States Department of Labor Soft Skills – Professionalism http://youtu.be/7dPWVjQSad4

Leadership and learning are indispensable. - John F. Kennedy What do you think this means? Discussion starters: Leadership must be learned because it is more than telling someone what to do. Leaders must be knowledgeable of their fields and keep up with new information. Leaders learn about the wants and needs of their employees. Leaders must know where they want to go (vision) and learn techniques to reach those goals.

Problem Solving What does it mean to problem solve? How do you solve problems? Allow for a short discussion.

Steps To Problem Solving There are five simple steps to problem solving: Identify the problem Develop alternative solutions Select the best choice Implement the plan Evaluate the outcome This is the FCCLA Planning Process.

Identify The Problem Define the problem to be solved Ask others for input When looking at the problem at hand, ask yourself the following questions: What can you see that causes you to think there's a problem? Where is it happening? How is it happening? When is it happening? With whom is it happening? (HINT: Don't jump to "Who is causing the problem?" When we're stressed, blaming is often one of our first reactions. To be an effective manager, you need to address issues more than people.) Why is it happening?

Develop Alternative Solutions Brainstorm a variety of solutions to the problem Explore options for solving the problem. Continue to seek advice from others – it is possible that friends or family members may see a potential solution that you do not see. Don’t worry if your solutions to the problems are not realistic, practical or effective. Sometimes a solution could be derived from one you might eliminate too quickly.

Select the Best Alternative Write down the advantages and disadvantages of each solution Discuss each alternative in detail When weighing the possibilities, consider the following questions: Which approach is the most likely to solve the problem for the long term? Which approach is the most realistic to accomplish for now? Do you have the resources? Are they affordable? Do you have enough time to implement the approach? What is the extent of risk associated with each alternative? Is it relevant to my situation? Is it realistic? Is it manageable? What are the consequences – both good and bad? What is the likelihood that it is going to help me reach my goal?

Implement A Solution After weighing all the possible choices, pick one solution and implement it.

Evaluate the Outcome Look over the solution – did it work? The last step in problem solving is to evaluate the outcome – How effective is the solution? Did it achieve what I wanted? What consequences (good and bad) did it have in my situation? Are you seeing what you would expect from the indicators? Will the plan be done according to schedule? If you find the solution does not work, then it is back to the drawing board! Select a new solution and gage its effectiveness.
