Join Phil and Lisa as they embark on an insightful exploration of the question, "What makes a group great?" We've all been there, finishing a program, and when asked, "How was the group?" we casually respond with "They were great."
But what exactly defines greatness in a group? Is it the absence of issues, genuine camaraderie, collective learning, or something more?
Here are some factors a facilitator might consider that impact how much a group may struggle (as mentioned by Lisa):
Social, Emotional, Economic and Cultural history of the group Length of Program (hours) Structure of the program (in school, year long, field trip)Goals of Program Relationship facilitator has to group Relationship facilitator has to the “Client” or chaperone Experience level of Facilitator
