Fostering Teamwork – IN-PERSON

Teamwork can have a dramatic impact on how youth perceive themselves in relation to their peers, how they perceive their own efficacy and abilities, and even have a positive impact on how they perceive opportunities for broader systemic change and their role in improving their community. In this workshop, we explore how and why to foster teamwork among youth. Benefits for teamwork show that youth who learn how to collaborate and coordinate action with others increases motivation, retention of facts, academic achievement, improved intergroup relations, a sense of individual control, and positive effects on both high-achieving students and shy or introverted students.

Upon successful completion of this training, the participant will earn 2.0 clock hours (.2 CEUs) of training.
