Group Values (What do we need to do to ensure our team’s success?)

What Each Team Member Agrees to Do	Why This Is Important to the Team
Check into the Group Forum regularly (each group should specifically define what they consider regular or at least a minimum) to review progress on the assignment.	Stay up to date on group work, allows for consistent communication, allows for thorough completion of assignments.
Contribute ideas and feedback to the group from initial discussions throughout project completion.	Atmosphere of open communication, free flow of ideas leads to improved quality of work and better group dynamics
Communicate with all group members as soon as a problem or issue arises.	Quickly resolve challenges to be able to efficiently accomplish goals.
Submits work that is reflective of a student in a baccalaureate professional nursing program.	Maintaining professional grade work is reflective of the student’s commitment to ongoing learning processes and contributes to furthering the student’s abilities.
Does not expect team members to consistently correct your work.	Looking over each other’s work is expected in a group and informing each other of corrections needing to be made is a courtesy, however, it is not someone else’s responsibility to do your job for you. Each group member has his or her own life outside of school, therefore, it becomes a matter of respect and personal accountability.
Maintain respectful communications with all team members.	Respect is the foundation to building a trusting and professional atmosphere.
Complete assigned tasks by the deadlines set by the team members.	Once again, this becomes an issue of respect. Issues may arise that require accommodation, but missing deadlines outside of extenuating circumstances undermines a trusting and respectful dynamic.
Take a leadership role in group assignments.	This allows for focused direction in the group’s mission.
Make sure to cite and reference all sources of information used in completing tasks.	Citing sources allows the reader to check those sources for credibility. Not citing sources brings into question the credibility of the writer(s) and can also lead to issues of plagiarism.
Contact coach/faculty if a concern/issue arises with a team member that the group is challenged in attempting to resolve	Allows for peaceful resolution of the issue when the group cannot do it themselves. Situations are sometimes better viewed from the outside, leading to solutions which may not have otherwise been thought of.
Able to communicate that individual grade for group work may be earned if evidence supports that work is not of expected quality, does not address all questions or does not provide appropriate references. Expects other members of the group to correct work for content and/or grammar.	The group should not suffer due to the lack of effort by a single member. If one person is not doing the work, and the rest of the group is picking up for that individual, the one who is not doing his job should not be credited for other people’s work.
