What Makes a Group "Great"?

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 “Client” or chaperone
• Experience level of Facilitator
