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 \\u201cClient\\u201d or chaperone
  • Experience level of Facilitator
