Rethinking the T-Group as Pedagogy

As we reflect on our teaching and it's potential for transformational learning, we can rediscover and adapt a powerful but underused technology, the T-Group. Adapting the T-Group to the modern college environment is a great way to express commonly held OB values including; an appreciation for experiential learning and personal involvement, self-disclosure, using the self as an instrument of change, transformational leadership, emotional intelligence and individual, interpersonal and group skill building. In this session I will share my experience in starting a new T-Group course, “Managing Human Dynamics” and offer support and encouragement to others contemplating starting their own course. Those who have used T-Groups in their own teaching will also be asked to share their own experiences.
