Termination and Evaluation
This week, think about how to bring a group to a close.
Please select one of the following prompts as a starting point for your post:
- Review group termination in your textbook. Compare the strengths and challenges of at least two types of group termination.
- Discuss at least three emotions a group member could experience during the termination phase. What can you do as a group leader to help group members cope with these emotions?
- Describe at least one method of evaluating group outcomes. Why did you choose to review this method?
- Discuss your feelings about peer review, a way of evaluating process by having one or more “peers” (usually other group leaders) periodically sit in on a group. Would you be comfortable being observed by another professional? How would manage receiving critical feedback?
Please note:
- Do not create your post as a reply to the pinned post. Instead, use Yellowdig’s Create option to create a new post.
- Remember to practice the use of APA style for citations and references throughout the discussion activities in this course. All information not derived from your own knowledge or experience should include an in-text citation and a reference at the end of the post to show the reader where it came from. Use Academic WriterLinks to an external site. for guidance in citing sources in proper APA style. See the Writing CenterLinks to an external site. for more APA resources specific to your degree level.
- Attaching an article, video, podcast, meme, et cetera, as part of your post is always a good idea, but remember that you will need to write sufficient text in the post to meet the required point total for the post. Points will not be earned for merely attaching the resource and submitting a post without any descriptive text.
