Sam, Laura and Tania attempting to break the safe
Participants were given instructions but only part of them which they weren't to show each other but had the responsibility to explain and share with each other.

Sue, James, Vivian & Paulis deliberating strategy
Wow so intense the game by Mattel can be quite intense and you really have to work in a team to have any chance of cracking the safe in the 30 minutes available.

Here you can see the layout of the board.. 4 characters are the agents aiming to break the safe collaboratively in 30 minutes... the time beeps every minute!!! There are boobytrapped keys that you have to find. Watch out for the guard and the watch dog as if you are discovered you are put in Jail!!

The clock is ticking!!
Oh No! 2 in jail, one agent waiting for someone to help lift the 500lb weight off what we hope is the key to the safe and look out for the guard dog he can sniff around corners!! Tension is high and we have to think cooperatively

| Summary of Collaboratively produced Teamwork tips from the day's workshop - as summarised by Marie Jasinski (see original source document via the weblink below)
TOP TIPS for Teamwork Prioritised by participants from a list of teamwork guidelines at the LearnScope High Performance Teamwork Workshop. GRAND CHAMPION TIP Communicate, communicate, communicate. Keep talking. Praise other team members for their accomplishments. Provide constructive feedback to each other. TOP TIPS Go for goals. Clearly define your team’s goals. Define two types of goals; completing the task and strengthening the relationships. Be agile. When conditions change unexpectedly, make rapid adjustments to the schedule and to the work assignments. Have fun. Encourage team members to enjoy what they do. Periodically celebrate team’s successes. All together now. Get all team members involved in completing the tasks and improving team relationships. Different strokes. Respect diversity among team members. Encourage different opinions and ideas. Practical ideas for improving teamwork in the workplace Generated and prioritised by participants at the LearnScope High Performance Teamwork workshop. 1. Consciously think of positive and constructive feedback for an individual team member and put it in writing. 2. I need to listen to hear the voices (the ideas, the doubts, the needs, the talents) of others in the group. 3. Review assigned tasks. Reassign if necessary. Re-clarify if not. 4. Involve staff in sharing information, goal setting, strategising and having fun. Use staff meetings, individual consultations and morning teas. 5. Restating the end point of the project and reviewing our plan to get there! 6. Remember: Don’t ever railroad anyone with your ideals, especially when the destination is the same. 7. By sharing ideas and different strategies to end up with a common goal. 8. Teamwork could be improved by: creating a register of the team members’ skills and interests so that we could call on that person’s expertise in achieving team goals. 9. Re-introduce weekly synchronisation sessions and attach a reflective practice element. 10. Communicate more effectively with teachers on campus to ensure better resources. 11. Debrief project-based teamwork outcomes more clearly. 12. Take time to learn more about people’s external, non-task interests, skills and strengths – and acknowledge and use them. 13. Set up a ‘success’ area on out team site. 14. Organise a ‘happy hour’ once a month. 15. Exploit all talents. 16. I will ask teams to revisit and confirm their expectations of their task or goal. 17. Use the check in at the start of a meeting to leave other issues behind – ie – go round the group and say how you are today and what you would like to leave at the door while we are meeting (eg fight with child the night before) 18. Giving turn to the others – let tother express themselves and share their previous knowledge and experience to the team before starting any task. Thanks Marie for the fun learning curve Cheers Vivian Evans |
