Create TEAMs in which

Together Everyone Achieves More

More hands make the load lighter. More people working together

means more productivity. However, teamwork increases more

than the quantity of work; it increases the quality of products

and projects. When students interact in a positive context, a

synergistic power is generated. Students bounce ideas off each

other, build on each other’s ideas, and share solutions with other

teams. By working together successfully, students understand

Promote Real-World Teamwork Skills

Teamwork in the classroom is preparation for the real world,

which is increasingly characterized by teamwork. Isolated,

independent work is giving way to a networked and interde -

pendent world. In the workplace of today and the future, teams

coordinate their efforts with other teams. Often, success is less a

function of what you know than how well you work with others.

Teamwork skills are arguably the greatest skill we can give our

students to succeed in school, work, and life.

Create the “Will” and “Skill” to Cooperate

Research shows that when students work together successfully, learning and

achievement go up. But just putting students together does not ensure they

will work together successfully. Students may have an initial resistance to

working together. They may not have the “will” to cooperate, or perhaps

lack teamwork “skills.” Through fun and motivating teambuilding activities,

students acquire the motivation and skills to work together.

Build Positive Student Relations

By working toward a shared goal, there is no longer an “us” versus “them”—

it is “we.” Like the camaraderie created in sports, classroom teams working

toward a common objective promote positive student relations that tran -

scend race, sex, status, gang, and clique lines. Students learn to appreciate

each other for their unique strengths. Students not only learn to tolerate

diversity, they come to celebrate it!

Enhance Classroom Climate and Have Fun

Teambuilding creates a more positive tone in the class, which translates

into decreased discipline problems and increased motivation, learning,

and liking for class.
