In this workshop, we explore how and why to foster teamwork among youth. Teamwork is defined in as “abilities to collaborate and coordinate action with others.” Classroom research has shown that well-structured, intentional opportunities for collaboration benefit youth in many ways. They include motivation, retention of facts, academic achievement, and improved intergroup relations, a sense of individual control, and positive effects on both high-achieving students and shy or introverted students. One of the biggest takeaways from the theory and proven practice of Teamwork is that positive experiences with it 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.
