TBL Team-Building – How Do You Help New Teams Bond?

Team-Based Learning

Newly formed TBL teams need time to build trust, establish expectations, and learn how to work effectively together. Educators can support this in different ways, from structured team-building activities to giving students opportunities to make meaningful decisions together.

If you were starting a new TBL course and had just assigned students to their teams, which approach would you prioritise to help them build trust and cohesion early on?

Let your students:

  • Develop a team charter or team norms
  • Complete a traditional team-bonding or icebreaker activity
  • Discuss expectations for contribution and accountability
  • Practise giving and receiving peer feedback
  • Complete a challenging team application activity together
  • Co-create or negotiate elements of the grading system
  • Other (Share your approach in the comments)
