Team-based work is often implemented with the assumption that students will instinctively develop teamwork skills through these experiences. Unfortunately, simply participating in team projects does not necessarily allow students to develop appropriate teamwork capabilities. In reality, students are often unaware of which specific behaviors lead to effective teamwork. Teamwork that is not properly supported may leave students feeling personally stressed and ill-equipped for work in today’s dynamic work environments. Additionally, instructors wanting to capitalize on the benefits of team-based learning often require additional guidance and tools that are needed to successfully facilitate functional teamwork in their classrooms. This interactive and experiential session will explore key strategies for developing and maintaining healthy student teams.

Presentation: 
Breif introduction to who we are and highlights from our program of research. 

SUIT - Teamwork Communication: 
This guided experiential activity explores the SUIT framework and its application in the classroom. Attendees will learn about the different types of conflict that teams can experience, and practice a structured communication framework that can be implemented in your student teams.

Tips and Tricks: 
Team Coaches from Royal Roads University will provide favorite coaching tips throughout the session, which address common challenges reported by student teams.

Wrap up: 
Closing thoughts and provide attendees access to our bundle of tools, slide decks, and debriefs.
