The hardest group that I was a part of to say goodbye to was probably my fellow teachers at my last job. We all got along really well, participated in trainings, and collaborated well. We did have clearly established norms. Our closing ritual was a farewell lunch and exchanging numbers and emails.
How do I imagine I will adjourn from the group of colleagues I have formed while working on my master's degree in this program? Well, this is truly the first I have thought of this. I believe it will be difficult because we formed a tight group that was focused on a shared goal.
Adjourning is an essential stage of team work because separating is necessary to move into different directions and to celebrate your success (or learn your lessons for the future). It can be a bittersweet celebration because you will be sad, yet anxious to embrace new challenges!
That would be very emotion to leave all your friend at job. That is a very tear eye situation to be in because you leaving your fellow teacher that you have been with for a long time.
ReplyDeleteI believe that it is always difficult to leave a good functioning group. Additionally, I agree with you that leaving our classmates will be difficult.
ReplyDeleteDeb,
