Check-In: Team Co-Alignment
Mentally synchronize the group before an intensive seminar or internship phase, honouring each member’s strengths, challenges, and well-being.
-
Gather Materials:
Give each person five sticky notes and a pen.
-
Silent Reflection (5 min):
On separate notes, each writes:
-
Name
-
Teaching Strength
-
Teaching Challenge
-
Energy Level (1–10) for the coming days
-
Optional: any emotional or physical needs
-
Name
-
Round-Robin Sharing (10 min):
In turn, each team member briefly presents their notes.
As a group, reflect on:
-
What collective strengths can we lean on?
-
Where do we see opportunities for support or growth?
-
How is our overall energy level?
-
What conditions help us feel secure and respected?
-
What collective strengths can we lean on?
Participation is voluntary and different backgrounds shape how we define strengths, challenges, and well-being. Honour each person’s comfort level, invite—but never require—sharing of personal contexts, and build on this awareness to co-design a supportive, inclusive team experience.
