Session description [structure, parts, activities]

1. The introduction to the session and the Intended Learning Outcomes (ILO) – presentation by the trainer
2. A small group focuses on the two core elements of teamwork:
1. Participants have a shared understanding of the content addressed by the team and aim of the task at hand in order to ensure results, achievement and high performance.
2. The participants create relationship, trust and climate in the group, ensuring members integration and empowerment.
3. Both (the aims and the personal relationship) must be kept in mind by each participant in the group, otherwise the group will not be successful
3. Distribute examples of rubrics (DARE+ and optionally other proposals)
4. Groups compare the results of the small group activity above with the dimensions and levels in the DARE+ rubrics. Revision of the level descriptors in small groups to reflect own context; sharing in a plenary session
5. Evaluation of the session by means of satisfaction questionnaire (short 5 points)

Mode of evaluation

15 min focus group discussion on achievement of learning outcomes
