Module 4 | You and the group

Pre-BKO

How do you create effective working norms within the group? How do you create more interaction within the group? And what can you do if the group isn’t working in the way you want?

Course description

Key module 

Maybe the most asked question by teachers is ‘how can I get more interaction in my group?’. In order to answer this question we will take a look at the theory of interpersonal interactions based on Leary’s Rose. We will translate this concept to your classroom and look at different interventions and its effects. Furthermore we will look at the types of questions you can ask to spike a reaction.
