Working in Groups Emotional Literacy Workbook

As humans, we are socialised in groups; we belong to a group at every stage of our lives, from family to school and work. The Working in Groups Emotional Literacy Workbook is a useful resource for those who wish to foster a co-operative, affirming and supportive class group.

Why Is it Important to Learn to Work in Groups?

The world increasingly relies on people being able to work together to overcome issues. A problem shared is a problem solved, after all. When students learn how to work together, they learn to appreciate the opinions of others, to challenge things, and gain an understanding about their own behaviours.

What Areas Are Covered in the Groups Workbook?

This 60-page program contains 14 session plans that:

• Examines the role groups play in our lives 
• Explores cohesiveness, co-operation and communication in the class group
• Examines the strengths and weakness of personal leadership
• Assess students' ability to make decisions by consensus
• Focuses on problems that currently exist in the group and how to find ways of resolving them

Building a Sense of Community

Everybody has their own unique perspective and something to contribute, so when young people start working together, they find that there are many ways to come up with solutions. Working in groups creates and strong and supportive classroom environment, and in turn, makes for happy and self-confident students.
