Reinventing the Student Team Experience in a First-Year Integrated Curriculum

Abstract: This session will focus on reflective reinvention of using student teams in management education. The goal is to help participants become intentional about team formation in classes. We will discuss the team experience model utilized in the Miami University Farmer School of Business’ First-Year Integrated Core program. Using Tuckman’s (1965) framework, we will explain how students move through the stages of teams throughout the semester. Participants will be given example exercises and learn best practices for providing a meaningful team experience.
