The isolation problem

Tuesday, 12 April 2011

Various degrees of isolation

• Going it alone

• Small teams

• Small groups

• More ‘group’ than ‘team’

• Congeniality over collegiality

Essentially we must consider...

• Where do students have to be? Backwards Design

• What is developmentally appropriate on the way?

• We must strike the ‘right’ balance between the two.
